 * I was trying to edit the Woocomerce product widget. In the query, I selected 
   manual selection. I tried to put a product category but it will not show the 
   products in that category. I need to insert on by one the product itself in the
   manual selection.
 * How do you make it so that when I put the product category, it will show all 
   the products in that category?

 * Hello [@tyronty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyronty/),
 * According to what you have described, it sounds like you are using a 3rd-party
   widget. Could you please share some more details about the widget you are using
   Also, have you tried the default `Products by Category` widget?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello! I am using Elementor Pro. In Elementor, there is the Woocomerce part and
   I just used the ‘Products’ widget.
 * I did try products by category but when I tried to use it, it would show all 
   products.
 * I am also trying to make a shop page for that specific for that product category
   only.

 * All the widgets included with core WooCommerce are listed here: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-widgets/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-widgets/)
 * If you are using a widget that’s added by Elementor Pro, you’ll want to reach
   out to the plugin support directly: [https://elementor.com/contact/](https://elementor.com/contact/)

 * Did you select any categories? If no category is selected, the widget shows all
   products.

 * Hello! After double checking, I am using the core Woocomerce widget and I do 
   have 1 product on the category.

 * Added note* Only latest products seems to work, I tried every other options but
   nothing seems to work.
 * Also, the search by product category from Woocomerce also does not work.
 * When I use the search by category, the search by price widget seems to disappear.

 * Hi [@tyronty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyronty/),
 * >  I am using the core Woocomerce widget and I do have 1 product on the category.
 * Just to get a better context here:
    * Does the widget display that 1 product 
   in your chosen category? * If the product is not shown, could you check if it
   is not **out of stock**?
 * Also, about something you mentioned earlier:
 * > I am also trying to make a shop page for that specific for that product category
   > only.
 * You can use the [WooCommerce Shortcodes](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/)
   on a new page to show products of a certain category only.
    For instance, I can
   create a page displaying all products in my hoodies category with this shortcode`[
   products category="hoodies"]`.
 * Thanks.

 * No, it does not display anything when I put that category in Manual Selection.
 * The product is on stock.

 * To check further, could you kindly share with us a URL of your site as well as
   a screenshot of how you’ve added the said widget at WP-Admin → Appearance → Widgets.
 * Thanks.

   screenshots.

 * The position does not change even when I put search by category.

 * Hi [@tyronty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyronty/),
 * Thanks so much for the screenshots!
 * We would need to check the `HTML` output on the site in order to figure out what
   is happening and why the widgets are not working correctly. I can recommend creating
   a staging site duplicating exactly the content of your local site and share the
   URL with us.
 * If your host doesn’t offer that option, we recommend [WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/)
   for quickly spinning up a new test site.
 * We’ll be happy to assist further once we’ll be able to view the source code on
   your site.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Mirko! Is it possible to send a staging website to you privately? So that
   the website at the current state is not publicly visible?

 * Possibly. To determine if you qualify for our premium support, can you send me
   your system status report? You can find that by going to WooCommerce > Status
   in your site’s admin area, then clicking “Get system report,” then “Copy for 
   support.” If a URL would be easier, it should be yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.
   php?page=wc-status&tab=status , replacing “yoursite.com” with your site’s actual
   URL.
 * Alternatively, if you’ve purchased a plugin from our Marketplace, you should 
   qualify for premium support and can open a ticket directly with our support team
   here: [https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/](https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/)

 * Hi there,
 * If you were able to submit a ticket at WooCommerce.com, we’ll be handling your
   issue via the created ticket. I’m going to mark this as resolved now – if you
   have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
