    Dear all,

    I’ve made a Woocommerce shopping page. Woocommerce generates a standard shopping page and on that page I can drop the searchbar.

    But cause I’m not using the standard shopping page but seperate the pages by categories I cannot add the searchbar to those pages (don’t know how).

    So for instance, I open de category page of beer glasses (only beer glasses) I get an nice view of all those beer glasses I can buy. But on top of that page I want the search bar to search on different beerglas products. But I don’t know how?

    Can someone help me out with this problem?

    Kind regards,

    Mark

    Hello,

    There are many ways how you can add plugin search form to your category pages.

    For examle – by using search form widget. But in this case search form will added and on all other pages that supports your widget area.

    Another way – is to customizing your theme category arthive page template.
    So open your theme folder and find woocommerce/archive-product.php file inside it.
    Than add followind code inside

    if ( function_exists( 'aws_get_search_form' ) ) { aws_get_search_form( true ); }

    It seems I can’t find ‘woocommerce/archive-product.php’ when opening the documents with filezilla..

    Widget is filling the sides (which I don’t like). I want the searchbar on top of this page. Using the Mesmerize Theme.

    Looks like I found the solution for you. Please use following code snippet

    add_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description', 'my_woocommerce_before_shop_loop' );
function my_woocommerce_before_shop_loop() {
    if ( is_tax( 'product_cat' ) && function_exists( 'aws_get_search_form' ) ) {
        aws_get_search_form( true );
    }
}

    You need to add it somewhere outside the plugins folder. For example, inside functions.php file of your theme or use some plugin for adding code snippets.
