Woocommerce Products Category widget Primary Category

  • Resolved pickme

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Hello,

    Using plugin The SEO Framework, from product page I have set a child category as the primary one to a product. Moreover, I have assigned to it 3 more child categories. As a result, I expected the Woocommerce Products Category widget to display the primary category (highlight it as the one the product is assigned to) and not one of the other ones (not primary). Breadcrumbs and url at product page are correct.

    I have found this issue but could not apply the fix:
    https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/10555

    Could you please help resolve this issue?
    Thank you

    Hello!

    As you’ve spotted correctly, TSF does augment the breadcrumbs and post type link.

    Truthfully, I didn’t even know WooCommerce had a widget–so, I never implemented primary terms for it. But we should. So, I added a feature request, and I hope to ship it with the next update (4.1.1, if everything goes well!): https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/544

    In the meantime, I think this filter will address the issue. Please note it makes uses of a “private, underscored” method–which means I do not report on changing the method’s behavior.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_init', function() {

	$tsf = function_exists( 'the_seo_framework' ) ? the_seo_framework() : null;

	if ( $tsf ) {
		add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_main_term', [ $tsf, '_adjust_post_link_category' ], 10, 2 );
	}
} );

    I recommend removing that filter before updating to the next version of TSF. I’ll notify you here when it’s ready ??

    Hi @cybr!

    That filter fixes the issue! This was exactly the issue I described.

    As a result, by setting a primary category (even child category) to a product, the default Woocommerce product category widget on the sidebar of the single product page highlights the same primary category and not other categories (also set to same product).

    You have already fixed the product permalink and breadcrumb according to primary product category.

    Well done!!

    Quick status update: TSF v4.1.1 will include this feature. You can safely remove the custom filter from my first reply to this topic after you update the plugin.
