Filters on Vendor’s Store page

Hi there, thanks for the kind words,

We just pushed an update (1.1.06) that makes the plugin quite compatible with the WOOF Products Filter plugin ( https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-products-filter/ ).

I recommend you try to use that – if you run into any issues you can let us know,

Thank you for such a quick response! I checked, yes, it works, but not quite in the way I would like. I would like to be able to insert filters into a regular sidebar, as in a standard store, and not from above. In the vendor’s store, everything is displayed very beautifully, just like in the general catalog, but there are very few of the same filters. Is there any way to insert filters through a shortcode or something else? Thanks.
ps I am sure that your MarketKing will win everyone)

I checked, you can also add that to the sidebar.

1) You can remove it from showing above products by going to WOOF settings and setting this to ‘No’: https://prnt.sc/vMYTfcjTurBc

2) You can add it to the side bar by going to Appearance -> Widgets and finding the WOOF widget there: https://prnt.sc/Wz9uFquohvVd

The final result looks like this on my local test site: https://prnt.sc/wyEOBkeRR-_l

I don’t know if you’re seeing a sidebar on the store page or not – it depends on your theme. If you’re not seeing a sidebar, try to edit the stores page and change the template there: https://prnt.sc/hs-0hlTuMT4_

Other filters plugins or other filters in general may be compatible as well – our plugin simply uses the default [products] shortcode from WooCommerce. Any filter compatible with that should also work.

Thank you for such great support and a detailed response. I checked again with WOOF, yes, it works, but not quite as I would like. And I don’t use these filters. I will show you in the screenshot what result I would like to get. I understand that this is a completely different job, but I’ll show you anyway.

And thank you so much, I’ve never contacted the developers before, I’m thrilled, I didn’t expect such great feedback ??

Thank you for your review ??

I checked your screenshot. To achieve that:

1) First, it’s possible there could be product filters plugins out there that have a setting or option for that. Basically you’d need a plugin that integrates that way with WooCommerce’s [products] shortcode. Unfortunately I don’t know which one I could suggest – we don’t have that much experience with product filters plugins either.

2) What would definitely work is to use a bit of custom coding / templating.

You can completely edit the store page template per your needs. We have a guide here: https://woocommerce-multivendor.com/docs/how-to-edit-marketking-pages-templates/ ( see under “For example, if you want to edit the individual store page template:” )

You would copy the store-page.php page to your child theme folder and then edit it.

Inside that file, you’d need to modify the products tab so that it’s split into 2 columns. In the column on the left side, you’d add a woof filters shortcode [woof] ( https://products-filter.com/shortcode/woof ).

Have you checked how the plugin works with Flatsome?

If you make the admin a vendor, then when you go to the seller’s dashboard> products and open any product, then all css break and a message is written that there is a critical error on the site.

There is no such problem with other standard themes. I checked.
You can check with yourself? Thanks.

Hi there,

We did test the plugin with Flatsome and we were happy with how they worked together. I think there must be something specific on your site, maybe some specific Flatsome setting or plugin or something that is interefering.

I can check on your site if you’d like. For that, please open a private ticket with us at https://webwizards.ticksy.com (you can open it in the MarketKing Pre-Sales category). In the ticket, we would need a backend (admin) login to your site, or a staging clone site, so we can check the issue,

Kind regards,
Stefan

By the way,
I just remembered, a day or two ago we released an update for MarketKing that I have reason to believe may help solve your issue. Please try to update the plugin first and see if that helps (you should have version 1.1.07).
