Hi Guys
I have installed the woocommerce shop plugin but seems to have an issue with Pinboard theme. The products page displays the sidebar below the product.
Have you heard about this issue and can you suggest a fix please?Cheers
JohnBut wouldn’t that get rid of the sidebar altogether? I was hoping to use the sidebar. Just want it in the correct location
Ok thanks for that. Is it a woo commerce issue or pinboard?
I don’t mind adding code if you know what to do.
Neither. It’s jus that Pinboard doesn’t have native integration with WooCommerce so the plugin falls back to standard template files which sometimes result in unexpected behavior.
The best way around this is to create a child theme that contains the plugin’s template files but this requires coding knowledge.
I see Daniel. I want to keep Pinboard as its a fantastic theme for my needs. Trouble is I also need the sidebar displaying in my woocommerce shop areas. Could you help me with this issue please?
Cheers
JohnFFS! finally got my woocommerce working well within Pinboard, just updated the theme and all of my changes and code added to the function.php has gone. Back to square one! will this happen every time I update this theme?
You can create a Child Theme to make sure you don’t lose your changes. The Pinboard theme was designed to be child theme friendly.
Hi Daniel I have just done that but some of my changes are in the themes functions.php file which I cannot put into a child theme
When I said Pinboard is child theme friendly I meant litterally everything can be customized. Every function in functions.php is a pluggable function which means you can override it in the child theme’s functions.php file. Every hooked function can be removed with remove_action and you can add your own instead.
I’d love to see your website after it’s finished, maybe post it here?
Great news Daniel. I was reading up on child themes and people were saying not to include the functions.php. I’ll give it a go and yes ill post it up when done 🙂
cheers
John
