Subcategories in Shop
URL to the page in question:
-
I’m trying to add products into my Shop. I notice if I click the Front Page category that was set up in the Demo they will appear on the first page of the shop. However I would like the photos to show up on the categories I have listed within the shop as well. What do I need to do to make this happen? Are the categories supposed to be linked to another post or page? Currently when I click on the subcategories, the Hello World post comes up. Do I need to make a post for each of the Subcategories?
Another good question. The theme is not set up to display the product category images, only the ones from the single products.
What you could do is create a page for a product category and add the category image as the featured image and then set the page to use the image format. Then use a shortcode to display the products in that category. The shortcode looks like this;
[product_category category="appliances"]
where appliances is the product category. Just place that into the content of your page and it will convert the shortcode into a list of products from that category.
If you need help, let me know,

Another option is to add your categories and sub-categories directly to your navigation menu. That will create a “page” which is really a dynamically generated archive of the products in those categories. That’s another option to consider for them.
