Your theme controls whether or not a sidebar is available. See if there is an option/doc on doing so. We have a categories widget which can be used once that part is setup.
It does, which is why i’m even more confused. here’s a snap sot of the widget areas it supports. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjasjegjwq5rc9m/screen%20snapshot.png?dl=0
‘shop’ is not a real page, its a custom post type archive. Ensure there is a sidebar in your archive-product.php template.
Find that file in your theme and edit it..
i can see the archive-product.php file but how do i fix the sidebar issue.
is it this code?
</div>
<?php
/**
* woocommerce_sidebar hook
*
* @hooked woocommerce_get_sidebar – 10
*
*/
?>
<div id=”secondary-right-sidebar” class=”widget-area right-sidebar sidebar”>
<?php
do_action( ‘woocommerce_sidebar’ );
?>
</div>
</div>
So there is a sidebar (woocommerce_sidebar).
See if there are any references to ‘woocommerce_sidebar’ in your theme functions.php. It might be removed.
There isnt any. How can i fix this
Why not disable the sidebar plugins and see what sidebars you’re left with?
how do i do that? i don’t have anything in any of the sidebars apart from the wooslidebar. Do i delete the stuff in it?
should i deactivate wooslider?
no, i deactivated wooslidebars but nothing has changed. what do i do to get the sidebars on the shop page.
you said

How do i get the ‘woocommerce_sidebar’ to be in my functions.php file
I finally got it to show in other pages, but for some reason it doesn’t show on the shop page even though it works on the cart and checkout page.

Sadly i had to put it in the right side bar and it appears everywhere. All i wanted was fr it to show in the shop page and if possible in the cart and checkout pages also, but those i could do without.
