Fixing the issue of woof filtering on main shop page - woof filter results showing product categories instead of products

If you have installed WooCommerce Products Filter by realmag777 and set the shop base to display categories in woocommerce settings, you may notice that using woof filters from your main shop page brings products categories instead of filtered products result. This issue can be easily resolved by changing the woocommerce settings back to show all products on the main shop page, but, if you still would like to have product categories on main shop page, you would need to update your archive-product.php file.

Installation

Just copy the archive-product.php to your current theme folder/woocommerce/

Manual installation if you have different version of archive-product.php or custom code there

Instead of the line 67 that was <?php woocommerce_product_subcategories(); ?> put :

if ( !strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "swoof")) {
    woocommerce_product_subcategories();
} ?>

Note: If you had changed the default search slug "swoof" in WOOF settings->Advanced->Options->Search slug update the code above with your keyword instead of swoof.

woocommerce archive-product.php

/**
 * The Template for displaying product archives, including the main shop page which is a post type archive
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/archive-product.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
 * (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
 * maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
 * happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
 * the readme will list any important changes.
