Thanks for your help.

Hi

Fixing the slug didn’t solve the non-plugin Product Filters block issue. In columns or not.

Searching online often recommends I put in a ‘query loop’ to surround (?) the columns, filter and/or product collection block. (I am not sure) but it has never worked for me.

I don’t know if it helps, but here’s some source code from 1 of the product categories in the filter

<div class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__item" data-wp-each-child data-wp-context='{"item":{"id":"taxonomy\/product_cat-books","label":"Books","ariaLabel":"Books","value":"books","selected":false,"type":"taxonomy\/product_cat","termId":23}}' data-wp-bind--hidden="context.item.hidden" > 

<label class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__label" for="taxonomy/product_cat-books" > 

<span class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__input-wrapper"> 

<input id="taxonomy/product_cat-books" class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__input" type="checkbox" aria-label="Books" value="books" data-wp-bind--checked="context.item.selected" data-wp-bind--disabled="context.item.disabled" data-wp-on--change="actions.toggle" > 

<svg class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__mark" viewBox="0 0 10 8" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

<path d="M9.25 1.19922L3.75 6.69922L1 3.94922" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"/>

</svg>

</span>

<span class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__text-wrapper"> 

<span class="wc-block-product-filter-checkbox-list__text"> Books 

</span> 

</span> 

</label> 

</div>

I guess if i can’t make the products filter work with the product catalog template – is it relatively easy to create my own ‘product collection’ type block to put in the product catalog, instead of the ‘product collection’?

Hi thank you Aliraja

I originally didn’t have the ‘products by category’ template, but in trying to troubleshoot by myself, i made that active, but its a template not a block, so i couldn’t insert it into the ‘Product Catalog’ template. The product collection block inside the ‘products by category’ template looked normal. I couldn’t work out how to make that ‘template’ my store / homepage (as wordpress/woo automatically assigns the blank shop page to ‘product catalog’…

In the product filters block, it is like a block with a number of elements, price slider, attributes (which i am not using), reviews (i don’t use), then product categories (which list the categories I am using and allow selection by crossing the little square box, then in-or-out of sock little boxes.

I have tried twenty-twenty-five and twenty-twenty-four themes. Neither works. My aim was to not be dependent on spammy plug-ins or themes that ask for upgrades etc, but i guess i may be better off using a filter plug-in? i just want a simple as possible store, and feel that having a simple category filter is the best way to allow customers to look at the products they might want.

Thanks for your advice and help it is much appreciated.
