Category pages say "Nothing found"

Hi there,

What is the content of the url https://sureknowsomething.com/shandora/products-page/accessories/

Is it some sort of shortcode like such

https://docs.wpecommerce.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/category_menu_edit_category.png

Thank you,
Ray

The page is https://sureknowsomething.com/shandora/products-page/ ?and that page contains this shortcode: [productspage]

I’ve contacted the theme author about this and here is their reply:

“your issue is the front end template which is not compatible, and I’m sorry but this theme front end isn’t compatible with the wp-ecommerce. you may need to create your own product archive page. I don’t know if wp-ecommerce have this template stuff, but in woocommerce you can create your own template you just need to make sure the template is build like the theme html structure.”

So I need a “product archive page”.

I’m totally confused about how WP eCommerce combines with a theme to produce the output.

What do I call this product archive page to ensure that it is called when I’m listing a product category?

Hi johpg

So essentially what the dev is saying is the theme is built specifically designed FOR WooCommerce. So it’s doing specific things that Woo has built into their plugin.

This is why it’s not working as expected. What he’s explaining is. You need to build a custom archive page. To replace the archive page in the theme.

You might just be able to rename the page in the theme that is causing the problem with archives.

Look in the theme folder for any page that has the name archive in it and just rename them by adding .off to the end after .php

Then go into the Store Settings

Settings > Store > Presentation and click Flush Theme Cache

Now test your store pages. If this works you’re all finished. If not you’ll need to build a custom archive page.

If you aren’t familiar with WordPress development I’d suggest hiring a developer to modify the theme for you. https://getshopped.org/consultant/
