Catalog not appearing on main shop page

Hi trw11278,

You need to set up the products, page appeareance in the general settings, follow the link below for starting guid of Jigoshop
https://www.jigoshop.com/getting-started-guide/

You can set up also the main page by categories but you should be familiar with php coding as well to do it, add the following code snippet at your-theme/functions.php file:
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘remove_products_ from_shop’ );

function remove_products_from_shop($productsToRemove)
{
$inCategories = array(
‘CATEGORY-1’,
‘CATEGORY-2’,
‘CATEGORY-3’,
‘CATEGORY-4’,
);

if (!$productsToRemove->is_main_query()) return;

if (!$productsToRemove->is_post_type_archive()) return;

if (!is_admin() && is_shop()) {

$productsToRemove->set(‘tax_query’, array(array(

‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’,

‘field’ => ‘slug’,

‘terms’ => $inCategories,

‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’

)));

}

remove_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘remove_products_from_shop’);
}

Change the values (elements) of $inCategories array to your categories :

$inCategories = array(
‘YOUR-CATEGORY-1’,
‘YOUR-CATEGORY-2’,
‘YOUR-CATEGORY-3’,
‘YOUR-CATEGORY-4’,
);

If you are not familiar with coding leave it to avoid fatal errors.

Thank you for your response. I added the code and entered my actual categories but my page is still not how I want it. There are no products listed and the only way to get to my products is by typing the url.

I would very much like the main page to look something like your demo site: https://demo1.jigoshop.com/ but I’m not sure what I’m missing.

Thank you!

I also just switched to a child theme and updated the functions.php of it rather than that of the original theme. I also update the style sheet for the child theme. Now I have error text on my pages.

Hi trw11278,

Could you past your system info please? It could be theme related issue.

I think this is what you want? I’m using WordPress 4.3.1 and running the Origin Child theme. The Origin theme comes from https://www.elegantthemes.com.

I now have five products showing but all from the same category. Can I at least have the different categories listed?

Hi trw11278,

About the shop page, you seem to have a white-fonted navigaton bar below the products thumbnails,
This is your shop page before changing the color of the link:
https://scr.hu/4vbr/mt6gd
And this is your shop page after:
https://scr.hu/4vbr/mxrc1
You might want to change the “color” property of the “a” element in your style.css file.
Also try changing the number of “Catalog products per page” in Jigoshop->Settings->Catalog and Pricing.

Thanks again! I figured out how to change the background and I now see the next button. But I cannot figure out how to change the color of the text. Also, the number of catalog products is set to 18.

Is there not an easier way to set up the display of the main page of the catalog rather than editing the style sheet? I would also like to show a few samples from each category like your demo site. Is there code I can just copy to get this done?

Thanks!

Teri

Hi trw11278,
Since this didn’t work, it would seem that the issue is the result of the theme you are using,
This is a common issue with ElegantThemes themes.
Please refer to:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/only-showing-5-products-per-page
Which seems quite similar to your problem.

As of the color of the link, find your style.css file(themes/Origin-child catalog) and find the following line:
a { text-decoration: none; color: #fff; }
and change it to:
a { text-decoration: none;}
Regards,
Marcin
