Adding custom Taxonomy to WooCommerce filters

Hello,

The filters work only with attributes. So, even if you create a product type custom taxonomy it will not be filtered. Why don’t you create an attribute “Product type” with items inside?

Best Regards

Hello,

Unfortunately, we are not able to give any advice in this question. You will need to find a plugin. We have not practiced such an issue before as it is not related to our theme options thus we cannot recommend you anything appropriate.

Best Regards

But products data structure and attributes come with WooCommerce and not related to our theme at all. Our filters widgets are the same as WooCommerce ones. So if you will be able to adapt WooCommerce to your custom taxonomies needs then our theme will work with all your changes as well. Our theme doesn’t have any influence here. Yes, it is an eCommerce theme but all data organization are related to WooCommerce plugin, not to our theme or any other themes on ThemeForest.

But why you don’t want to use product attributes instead of custom taxonomy? Your request will require a lot of customization in the WooCommerce and our theme.

They are standard terms meta and stored in the WordPress database as well as all other taxonomy terms meta. So you need to ask your import plugin’s developers how to fill these fields as well.

I am using the import feature in WP-ALL-IMPORT called “taxonomies” and it is trying to auto detect the custom fields (see attached screenshot).

Could you help me identify the Name of the two fields in the other attached screenshot?

I’ll give them a try later, we could be onto something here Artem! Thank you!

Could I make a suggestion? Look at setting up a private Facebook group for theme users. Flatsome uses a private Facebook group and its a fantastic way to get the community working together to solve issues. Obviously, your existing moderators/staff can oversee the posts and content on Facebook etc.

FYI, I have been able to import all of my product data and attribute term meta using WP-ALL-IMPORT. Thank you for your help and assistance!

I add all of the product data into a Google Sheet and import into Woocommerce using WP-ALL-IMPORT and their Woocommerce addon.

This can be set to automatically pull in the product data using a CRON job or WP-ALL-IMPORT has a $9 subscription that will manage the auto import.

I re-import the Google Sheet but this time select TAXONOMIES as the type of content I wish to import, I select my Colour attribute from the list, if the attribute isn’t showing, add it by going to Products > Attributes.

There is a section that allows you to add custom fields to the import (it tries to detect them but it doesn’t pick up the Woodmart fields). Add them manually.. “not_dropdown” and “image” and link them to the two relevant columns in the Google Sheet.

“not_dropdown” needs to be set to “1” in order to tick/enable the option. The “image” field needs to be a direct URL to the image file.

Hope that all makes sense, let me know if you require further clarification.
