404s when used with Woocommerce

    I’m also getting 404s. I’m using the plugin with Woocommerce to try and filter products as all of the other plugins out there are ugly and load a ton of extra stuff I don’t need…

    Here’s what I’m seeing:

    In Settings > Taxonomy Filters, I have the Products post type checked. Below that are check boxes for three taxonomies: Product Categories, Product Tags and Shipping Classes. I have it set to exclude Shipping Classes but show the other two.

    I then placed <?php if(function_exists('show_beautiful_filters')){ show_beautiful_filters(); } ?> in archive-product.php file, above if (have_posts())

    On the front end, it’s displaying the Product Categories & Product Tags as dropdowns, but it’s also picking up two other taxonomies that don’t get listed in the Settings page, those being a Woocommerce Attribute I have setup and then the “product type”, which is how Woo handles whether a product is a simple one, variable, bundle, etc.

    Anyway, filtering on the product type doesn’t return a 404, but it doesn’t filter anything either, all of my products are still shown. Any combination that uses this first taxonomy does the same.

    Any combination that doesn’t use that taxonomy results in a 404 page.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately the plugin have not been tested and made to work with Woocommerce. The main reason for this is because as you say there are so many filters out there already that’s made specifically for woocommerce. But also because woocommerce main shopping experience is through the page “shop” which is a static page with a shortcode and this plugin makes use of the archive template of a post type.

    In all honesty I currently have no plans of making it compete with the other woocommerce filter plugins out there and there are so many more requested features I still have to work on. I will add woocommerce-support to my roadmap but I wouldn’t expect it to come anytime soon. I’m sorry.

    It seems for now you’re stuck with the “bloated ugly” other solutions out there 😉

    No problem at all Jonathan and thanks for the reply.

    Regardless of Woocommerce, you may want to check whether the plugin respects hidden / private taxonomies. Based on what I’ve seen I’m thinking maybe it’s ignoring the public parameter of a set tax.

    Also, if anyone else stumbles upon this, I’ve checked out a bunch of different Woocommerce filter plugins, and have found this one to be the most elegant and solid: http://www.mihajlovicnenad.com/product-filter

    Great that you’ve found a solution and share it 🙂

    I will look into it. I thought I already had since I have done some testing towards poylang which also uses a hidden tax but apparently not enough 🙂
