Reply To: Best practice: Fashion Store and Gender (Man/Woman)

Hello,

The best way in this regard is certainly the one by creating Product Categories separately for “Men” and “Women” ones because to make the Filters work for these Categories, you would certainly need Archive pages i.e. Shop or Category pages. In your regard, it would be Category pages.

Regarding the Back Button concern, sorry to say but this is the default thing at WooCommerce end that if you have opened a certain Product page from Category pages and you click on back button it redirects to the last opened page. Right now this can’t be changed because there isn’t a separate option available for it.

Although, you can create Custom Layouts for the Categories that you will create using the Theme’s Layout Builder. Here is the guide to that if you want to know: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/woodmart-woocommerce-layout-builder/

One more thing, under the Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog > Shop page display and Category page display can be set Categories and Subcategories respectively if you want: https://snipboard.io/DeYv7V.jpg

In this way those Category pages that you will create will show Subcategories when visited.

Hope this will be of any help to you !

Best Regards.
