Sidebar for advert-category

By default when on categories page Adverts rewrites the WP Query in a way that on category pages it displays the same list as on a page with [adverts_list] shortcode but filtered by category (this is what most users expect).

In order to disable this behavior you can add following code in your theme functions.php file

add_filter("init", "my_init", 20);
function my_init() {
    remove_filter('template_include', 'adverts_template_include');

}

Now you should be able to create in your theme directory, file called taxonomy-advert_category.php which will be used when browsing ads by category.

Hi Greg,
That worked! However I have encountered another issue, though I don’t know if it’s tied to it. The widget when in a specific category is not showing the categories. It works in post mode however. Not sure if it’s because adverts_path on line 152 is different on class-widget-categories.php when being referenced from a category.

See site,https://neusars.org/advert-category/outfits/, to better understand what I am referring to. Also would you like me post this on a new thread?

This is how this widget is designed i am afraid. For example if you had categories like this:

- Bearings
 - Boots
 - Equipment
 - Outfits
 --- Pants
 --- Shoes
 - Plates
 - Skates
 - Wheels

Then when on this page https://neusars.org/advert-category/outfits/, widget would display “Pants” and “Shoes” categories.

Now i understand that if you have one level categories this is less than ideal, in future update i will consider adding an option to the widget so it will display top categories only.

Got it, thank you so much for all your help!

How do I add a sidebar for the ad detail page?
I have added sidebars to the listing, manage and add ads. But when I click on an ad, to view it, there is no way back to the main “adverts” page..
I’d like to add an automatic sidebar… can I add something in the functions that will place a sidebar on those ad detail pages?
I don’t want to set a “global” sidebar – because then all posts will have that sidebar. I want a specific sidebar automatically on the detail pages.

Thanks!
