Select custom attribute value in menu to display product archive

    Upon selecting a custom attribute value in the menu, I want to display archive pages with products associated with the custom attribute values only.

    For example, when a user selects ‘Arizona State’ in the ‘Find Your School’ menu, an archive page displays all products associated with Arizona school only.

    In my dev site at https://affinitygamerooms.marklovettstudio.com/ , I set up ‘Pool Tables’ as a variable product, ‘Find Your School’ as an attribute, and schools are entered as attribute values. I created many other variable products using the same 60 schools as custom attribute values.

    To test, I have entered data in the first three schools only …. Air Force Academy, Arizona State and Army West Point, the other schools are empty.
    When user selects a school in the “Find Your School’ menu, I want to display only products associated with the particular school, however now, upon selecting ‘Arizona State’, although the permalink is ‘https://affinitygamerooms.marklovettstudio.com/pa_find-your-school/arizona-state-university/’ , products display in an archive page from Air Force Academy.
    Similarly, when I select the ‘Army West Point’ from the ‘Find Your School’ menu, the permalink appears correct, https://affinitygamerooms.marklovettstudio.com/pa_find-your-school/army-west-point/, however the products that display are for Air Force Academy as well.
    The code I added to my child theme functions.php is:

    add_filter(‘woocommerce_attribute_show_in_nav_menus’, ‘wc_reg_for_menus’, 1, 2);

    function wc_reg_for_menus( $register, $name = ” ) {
    if ( $name == ‘pa_find-your-school’ ) $register = true;
    return $register;
    }

    Will someone please help me display archive pages with products associated with the custom attribute value only?

    Thanks much,
    Mark

    Per instructions given here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/using-custom-attributes-in-menus/

    1-Added following code to my child theme functions.php:

    add_filter(‘woocommerce_attribute_show_in_nav_menus’, ‘wc_reg_for_menus’, 1, 2);
    function wc_reg_for_menus( $register, $name = ” ) {
    if ( $name == ‘pa_find-your-school’ ) $register = true;
    return $register;
    }

    2) Copied woocommerce/templates/taxonomy-product_cat.php into my child theme folder and renamed template to mychildtheme/woocommerce/templates/taxonomy-pa_find-your-school.php

    Then I cleared my varnish cache and refreshed the site several times but no change. Both schools, Arizona State and Army West Point still display Air Force Academy products.

    Help!

    The find-your-school attribute was set up as a global attribute with ‘Enable Archives’ box checked.
