Shop sidebar menu

    How do I edit and format the sidebar in Virtue Free theme? I’d like to add a sidebar to my shop that shows my woocommerce shop categories, but I can’t seem to find anywhere within the menus where I can control what shows up in my sidebar. I can turn the sidebar on and off in the theme options, but I can’t figure out where to control what’s in it. I tried making a custom menu, but that doesn’t come up as an option for the sidebar, and there’s nowhere in the menus to choose shop categories.
    If possible, I’d like to also control the size of the sidebar. Alternatively, I’d also be willing to just do a menu bar if the sidebar doesn’t have this functionality, but I would only want it to show up within my shop pages.

    Thanks

    Your sidebar widgets are set via Appearance> Widgets.

    If you want to create a new sidebar, then you can do that via Appearance> Theme Options> Misc Settings.

    The sidebar will be assigned via the Appearance> Theme Options> Shop Settings.

    Ok, I added a sidebar through the Misc Settings and put the shop categories into it through the widgets page. Only, the “Shop Sidebar” (which is what I called it) doesn’t show up as an option in the Appearance -> Shop Settings -> Choose a sidebar for your shop.

    How do I add the custom sidebar to the shop pages?

    So, I got it to work by just using the primary sidebar for the shop page and not having it anywhere else. However, the text is coming up a really weird color, and I can’t find where to control that anywhere. suggestions? You can see the sidebar and text color issue on my site: http://www.mwk-designs.com/shop/

    Now at least you can navigate shop categories, but there’s no link in the sidebar to go back to the full shop page. Is there a way to add this without using the Pages widget (which adds another header before the page list, so it looks pretty odd if there’s just the shop page in there).

    Thanks!

    That’s odd. There is no reason that the sidebar shouldn’t be assignable to your shop page through shop settings.

    And for that text color, I think it’s best to use CSS. Place this CSS into Theme Options> Advanced Settings.

    .product-categories li a {
    color: white;
}

    If you want to change the hover color, use this.

    .product-categories li a:hover {
    color: red;
}

    You’ll likely want to change the color properties from white and red to whatever works for you.

    You can use the custom menu widget (you set up the menu in your apperance > menus page) and there add all your categories as well as your shop page itself.
