    Dear developer,

    Thanks for the wonderful plugin.

    I made it such that the shortcode is visible only on mobile devices. So, Kindly check the issue on a mobile device.

    The Problem is this:

    When I search “Apple” on the search bar and click search, it shows all the products, and it shows showing same results for all searches regardless of the search phrase.

    Even more problematic is – even on the product category pages, It is showing all the products instead of showing the specific category.

    I tried adding ” use_default_search=”true”” to the shortcode, but it still isn’t working, I replaced that with “use_default_search=”false””, and the results are the same. So for now, I just kept the shortcode as it is on all archive pages.

    The search bar for my website is fibosearch bar.

    Kindly help me such that the results on the search page and product category page for Woo Commerce product table lite will show relevant products. I do not wish to change the search bar from fibosearch bar.

    Kindly help me.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @tejasrinivasvk,

    Thank you for query. You are facing this issue because you are not using the plugin feature that you are supposed to use here. When you want to show product tables on the shop, search, category etc product archive pages you need to use the plugin’s archive override feature. Please see plugin FAQs > archive override > How can I replace the shop product grid with a table? Can I also do this for search, category, and attribute pages?

    Normally you create a new product table and simply print it out with a shortcode on any page of your website. These tables will show your products based on the settings in their query tab.

    But when you are trying to show product tables on your product archive pages you want them to catch the product results being printed on that specific product archive page and show them in the table. In this case you need to use the special archive override facility explain in the FAQ above.

    The process is simple and straightforward but you do need to use the facility properly to make the table’s show your archive page product results in the table.

    I hope this information helps! Please feel free to write in if you have further questions.

    Regards
    Kartik
