How to create a Woo shop page, with a sidebar, displaying my categories

[CyberBengt]

Hi

I have created a WooCommerce archive page with a sidebar to the left and the selected categories displayed, with image and name (all clickable), to the right. The sidebar is a widget area and contains a search function (YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Search) and a hierarchical navigation for my categories and sub-categories ( YITH WooCommerce Category Accordion). This works perfect.

Now I want the startpage in my shop with the same layout, except for one thing: the space to the right should be populated with the main categories from start.
I copied the archive page for categories and assigned it as the shop page. But I can’t figure out how to set the right parameters.
The condition for the column is set to “Product taxonomi is Category”. The looper consumer is “All”. The Div with the backgound image has: {{dc:post:featured_image_id}}. The category name is: {{dc:woocommerce:product_title}}. But the whole area turns up empty.

Best regards
Bengt

Hello Bengt,

Thanks for writing to us.

You can add the Widget area element to another column in the layout builder and then you can select the widget area from there. After selecting the widget area you can set the widgets for the sidebar.
Please have a look at the given screenshot. Please select the column structure as per your design.

Now select the sidebar from here.

Add Widgets in the widget area.

Hope it helps
Thanks
