Changing the base of the category template
-
First, I made the homepage a shop page. I like it this way: filters on the left, products on the right. Now, everyone viewing the homepage is actually viewing the shop page. I want my category pages to display the same template. The only difference is that the homepage displays all products, while each category displays its own products, similar to my shop template. So, what we need to do is leave the template the same but list products by category. Is there a setting for this?
Okay, problem solved. I did some research. It turns out Woodmart has custom templates for parent categories, but subcategories already inherit the store filtering. So, unless you create categories under the parent, they look like a store. You can modify the filtering sidebar to make it the same sidebar.
