Sidebar for only WooCommerce pages (archives, categories)

[yvescleeren]

Dear,

My website has a blog and a shop. For all the product pages I want the sidebar to display filters / search / etc (proudct widgets) and for all the blog posts/archives/index I want to show the blog sidebar (categories, top comments, etc).

I have made my “main sidebar” the “blog sidebar” and I have created a new sidebar “Shop” for which I ticked the box ‘make shop sidebar’

HOWEVER

This only activates my shop sidebar for the shop index page (where I don’t need it, this page is full width for me) but on the product categories the blog sidebar (i.e. the main sidebar) is still displayed.

How can I set this up the way I intended? (shop sidebar for all shop pages, blog sidebar for all blog pages) without having to select every individual taxonomy.

Thanks!

Hi,

To achieve that you can add the code below in your child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'ups_sidebar', 'assign_sidebars' );

function assign_sidebars($sidebar){
if(x_is_product()){
    return 'ups-sidebar-shop-sidebar';
}

if (is_singular('post')) {
	return 'ups-sidebar-blog-sidebar';	
}
return $sidebar;
}

Make sure to change ups-sidebar-shop-sidebar and ups-sidebar-blog-sidebar with your corresponding sidebar

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I added the code but it’s not working. The main sidebar is still displayed.

The code can be changed to just the if-case for the product, as the “blog sidebar” can be the “main sidebar”.

I’ll add a secure note

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! I have logged in and updated your code with this:

// Shop sidebar for Woocommerce producs
add_filter( 'ups_sidebar', 'assign_sidebars' );

function assign_sidebars($sidebar){
	if( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || is_product_tag() ){
    	return 'ups-sidebar-shop';
	}

	return $sidebar;
}

x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || is_product_tag() is a condition to determine if it is the shop page, category page or the product tag page.

You can now view the sidebar in the product category pages.
