Okay, I think that I’m getting there. For others that have the same requirement here is what I did.

I created 3 menus
shop – /shop
new-products – /shop?new=1
sales – /shop?sale=1

I created a plugin that intercepts the woocommerce_product_query

function cjwc_product_query( $q ){

    $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

    if(strstr($uri, 'sale=1')) {
	    $product_ids_on_sale = wc_get_product_ids_on_sale();

	    $q->set( 'post__in', (array) $product_ids_on_sale );
    }

	if(strstr($uri, 'new=1')) {
		$q->set('date_query', array(
			array(

				'after' => "15 day ago"
			)
		));
	}
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'cjwc_product_query' );

So basically when the request url has sale or new in it I override the default woocommerce query and only look for products_on_sale or products from the last 15 days.

The categories widget is a little more complicated. I wrote my own widget and overwrote the Categories_Walker. My widget has an option to append a suffix to the url. I’ve created 3 widgets – one for the normal products, one for new and one for sales.

new appends new=1 and sale appends sale=1 to the category urls.

This way I’m always reusing the shop page, but returning the filtered results.

At first I was using add_filter(‘term_link’, …) but this doesn’t work for me as I’m loading all the categories in a submenu. (all categories for new, for sale and for all products) And those categories needed to have all different suffixes. So it was necessary to write my own widget.

I still have to modify other widget such as price, color etc to also append the suffix, but yea…

If anyone has a better idea, please let me know!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately with shortcodes I can only display the products – sales, new, but I can’t have any kind of filtering on that page…

That’s a bummer.
