Research shows that displaying categories makes navigation easier so customers can find what they want faster. Here’s a link to the article that I mentioned.

Today, I'll demonstrate two methods to display products by category. One uses free shortcodes to create basic listings. The other utilizes our popular WooCommerce Product Table plugin for more advanced display options. I'll also cover how to create and manage your categories, add them to menus, and show them on your shop page.

hi, what kind of short code shall I use if I want to display products with both category and tag?

@Barn2Plugins 8 ай бұрын

Hi there! WooCommerce Product Table has many options that you can use to display specific products in a table. You can add the 'category' and 'tag' options to your [product table] shortcode to specify which products to display. Please see barn2.com/kb/wpt-include-exclude/ for more information. Should you have further concerns, feel free to reach us via our Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! - Keza

Do you have version of this video that shows how to do this on a block theme such as the Twenty Twenty Three block theme?

Hi there. This tutorial was done using Storefront theme. We don't have a version of this tutorial that shows how it's done in other themes as the process would still be the same. Should you have any further concerns, send us a message via our dedicated Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! -Keza

I just want to display 5 products and the limit code is not working for me :(

Hi, 9amStudio. Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with what sounds to be displaying only 5 products. If you're using WooCommerce Product Table, please could you submit a request via our Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ so that we can assist you best. If you mean you're using WooCommece shortcodes, I suggest you contact official WooCommerce Support at woocommerce.com/contact-us/ for the best advice. I hope this helps point you in the right direction. -Edge

Hello, I'd like to display product categories with images on my website. When a user clicks on a parent category, I want the corresponding subcategories to appear. Ideally, the structure should be: Parent Category > Subcategory > Product

@Barn2Plugins 14 күн бұрын

Hi, Prabal. Thanks for your comment. For what you'd like to achieve, you can go to the theme Customizer > WooCommerce > Product Catalog options and set the "Shop page display" dropdown to "Show categories" and the "Category display" dropdown to "Show subcategories". I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards, -Edge

Another point on stressing the need for this is Pinterest will email you this if you don’t have them setup apparently (I think) …..”Product descriptions are not original and/or there are no product categories on the Merchant's website.” I’m going to try & go fix the category issue fixes you show me here. Hopefully haha. But do yall have any products that have ai or something to give originality to descriptions from my “partially” copy & pasted product descriptions in bulk to fix the former issue listed in my quote from their email?

Hi, @eXodusArtisan. Thanks for your comment. I already replied previously, but my comment has disappeared for some reason, so I'm reposting it: That's interesting to know about Pinterest. You can use a third-party AI service to reword your product descriptions and paste them in a CSV file, which you can then upload to your website to update the product descriptions in bulk. You can then display your products per category using our WooCommerce Product Table plugin ( barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-product-table/ref/1075/ ). I hope this makes sense and helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. We can also discuss your requirements in more detail via our dedicated Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ . Best regards, -Edge
