Theme Builder - Categories & Subcategories Problem

Hi all,

Please be gentle on me! On my Divi driven WooCommerce website, I have various page overrides using Divi Theme builder which all work perfectly, apart from one - the shop page. I have my site set to show categories on the main shop page and to show subcategories on category pages - this works fine on the default "shop" page.

Now if I redesign my page and set it to replace shop, I can't seem to get sub categories to work. If I take a basic page and put a shop module in the page to display the selected category and set it to replace "shop", it shows all products, not categories. If I create another page the same and set it to replace a "Specific product category page" it also just shows products and not sub categories.

If I turn the divi theme off for the shop page and revert back to my wordpress standard shop page, it works fine i.e. show categories and when I press on a category, it then shows me sub categories and when I press on that, it shows me the products in the subcategory, however not in the style and layout I like, hence wanting to resign this final page with divi.

What am I doing wrong? what shortcodes should I be using instead of placing a show module on the page? I have tried [product_categories parent="0"] in a text module instead of the shop module and this just shows all the categories on the site but when you click on them it just shows them again.

Can anyone tell me the correct sequence to make a set of divi theme pages to make this work? I'm at my wits end with it as it's the only thing I cannot fathom out!

Any help gratefully appreciated.

I'm not sure you've actually ready my question. It has nothing to do with showing products in a category!

What I want to happen is show the product categories in a grid and then when I click on a category it shows the subcategory grid, and when I click on that it shows the products in the category. Just like it does with Divi Theme Builder turned off for shop and the site is set to show categories.

 

I've made a picture to try and explain it better, this behaviour just happens with the default shop page, no need to do anything. What I need to know is how to configure a divi page to do the same.

 

Indeed. It is a shame but I think you are right. Oh well, perhaps at some point they will release a category module. I don't want to have to make seperate template for each category as that would be quite tedious.
