Hiding sidebar filters behind the button

↑ Back to top

By default, the product catalog page(shop page) is displayed with the sidebar filters. On mobile devices, the sidebar filter will be displayed before the products. But, the sidebar filter is hidden behind the button, so the visitors will focus on products, and expand the filter area only if they need to filter products by attribute, price, and such. If you imported the demo content, then there is no need to add theme-specific classes for WooCommerce sidebar. However, if you skipped demo import, then please the following steps how to set it up:

  1. In Site Editor, click on the down arrow, near the template name, on the top of the screen. Click on Browse all templates button.
  2. In the templates screen, click on the Templates on the left-hand side. Click on the Product Catalog.
  3. Shop is displayed in full width. Click on the Columns element.
  4. Change number of columns from 1 to 2 usiing slider in the right-side panel. New column on the right side will appear.
  5. Adjust column width by selecting the desired column, and setting their width value in Column settings panel in the right side panel. For the best effect, set left column width to 85%, and right column width to 15%.
  6. Click on the right column, where filters will be displayed. Add desired filters to this column.
  7. Expand Advanced panel on the right.
  8. Add classtk-product-filtersclass to Additional CSS Class(es) field. This class will automatically hide the filter sidebar on mobile devices.
  9. Now, add a button element above product and filter columns.
  10. Add classtk-product-filters-triggerclass to Additional CSS Class(es) field. This class will allow selected button to become filter sidebar trigger.
