 * Hello
 * I have installed a plugin ,,Shop Page WP”, created a products, shop page, and
   put the products into their categories. When I open my Shop Page the products
   are there but when I choose one of the categories it shows empty and shows the
   message Nothing found. When I view some category from categories it shows empty.
   But on the category widget, it shows how many products are in this specific category.
   
   I was looking for everything and tried to manage that, but couldn’t really manage
   that issue. Could you please help me with that? You can see the problem here 
   when you open some category on the right side: [http://yummytastefood.com/shop/](http://yummytastefood.com/shop/)
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * The shop page plugin doesn’t display products on “category” pages that don’t 
   have the shop page shortcode on them.
    You can create individual pages for each
   product category, then insert the shortcode for a specific categroy. [shop-page-
   wp category=’insert-categroy-here’] Example for a books category: [shop-page-
   wp category=’books’]
 * After you create the pages, you can add a sidebar with navigation to each of 
   the pages.
 * Let me know if you have any other questions.
