    I would like to have a menu to manipulate which products show on a woo commerce product grid that I have on my front page. Another words I want visitors to be able to decide that they only see a certain category of products within my product grid:

    Here is a screenshot of a menu similar to what I want for my woocommerce product grid. The theme sure looks like Enfold, although it doesn’t identify as such.

    Any advice on how I might accomplish that?
    Thanks!

    Hey stovetopchicago,

    You might want to consider one of the WooCommerce plugins. Here is an overview:

    Thank you Victoria.

    I tried some of those plugins, most of which I couldn’t get to work, but the one that did (WOOF) did the same thing that my current woocommerce Product Category widget does, which is in a widget area above my front-page product grid. It takes you to another page with that product category.

    I want people to be able to filter and stay on the front page.

    Is there anyway to point a filtering widget/menu at the front page product grid?

    Thank You,
    Stephan

    Hi Stephan,

    You can try using sortable masonry with products, not the product grid.

    I switched my frontpage product display to using masonry instead of the product grid.

    Are you saying now that I can point a filter at it?

    I selected the sortable option “yes,display sort options and currently active taxonomy” but did not see any filter. Probably that just isn’t it?

    Thanks,
    Stephan

    Hi Stephan,

    Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?
    Are they all from the same category?

    Here you go.

    Hi Victoria,

    The products are a mixture of categories, some share the same categories, though.

    Just to be clear because I wonder if there is a misunderstanding:

    The masonry (and the product grid before that) display perfectly.

    I want to add a filter menu above the products that allows a visitor to control what category of product he sees within the masonry or product grid without leaving the front page.

    In my first post in this thread there are links that show exactly what I want on a similar website.

    Right now I have a widget positioned above the masonry that selects for categories but takes you to another page. It’s not connected to the masonry.

    Thanks!

    Hi Stephan,

    I understood what you mean, the thing is the product grid does not have sort options and masonry does. That’s why I suggested you to try it. It is supposed to have sort options, they are normally built based on category.

    But you use product type and so sorting options do not appear. Try choosing products from categories.

    Thank you, Victoria. That worked perfectly. All those little things you need to know…..

    A follow up question:
    In the future I’ll be adding more products to the masonry. Will it be possible to create other filters above the masonry? For instance if I want to see only”unsold” and “landscapes” . There would have to be more than one filter menu.

    Also would the current filter menu ever be able to have dropdown menus if I added subcategories? I tried adding o a subcategory, but it just became part of the main menu.

    Thank You.

    Hi Stephan,

    No, this functionality is not available unfortunately, you might want to look for a plugin or hire someone to build the filters for you.

    Hi Victoria,
    I was afraid you’d say that. But it works pretty good already.
    Thank you and you can mark this solved.
