[Resolved] Hooks

[Rob]

Hi Guys.

I know this isnt a Generatepress issue, but I thought you may have had this before, or can aim and throw me in the right direction.

Im using Elementor Pro, to create a Custom Template for the Product Archive.

I have a Filter plugin, that can assign to Hooks.

If I disable the Custom Product Template. The Filter appers where I want it, the Hook woocommerce_before_shop_loop. So at the top, near the “sort by” dropdown.

If I enable the Elementor Template, it disappears. I can only assume Elementor creates its own hook. Would anyone know what that might be?

I have asked Elementor support, who are refusing to be even slightly helpful.

Thanks Guys.

Hi there,

Does the Filter work if you add it to a GP Hook – obviously one that hasn’t been removed by Elementor?

Hi David

I created a similar topic last week, this was for a different site. It worked perfectly after you helped. Its the same plugin, just that I’m using Elementor for custom shop template.

I have options for “commons hooks”.

These are:

I then have an option for “custom hooks”.

as soon as i delete the custom template, resolving back to default shop loop, it works fine.

I dont know what hooks to try and put in there, thats the issue 🙁

[David]

Hmmm…. lets eliminate a conflict, if you add just some basic HTML to the woocommerce_before_shop_loop does that display?

[Rob]

I’ll let you know

[Rob]

Still doesnt work 🙁

That screen shot it what happens when I delete my Product Loop Template. everything appears.

Looks like Elementor replaces all of the template with just the_content for you to edit. Can the filter be added to the Template using a shortcode?

[Rob]

It does come with shortcode, but seems to attach the product loop with it.

[David]

Does the default GP Sorting display if you activate that in Customizer > Layout > Woocommerce –> Display product sorting ?

[Rob]

Yeah that’s already enabled,

and disappears if I enable the template.

[David]

Are you using a plugin for the product grid? i can see a UAEL- namespace class on those elements.

[Rob]

Yes, its the Ultimate Elementor addons.

[David]

Looks like it could be related to that, you can test by using the Elementor Product Widget. I know the GP sorting dropdown works on a normal Elementor product archive.

[Rob]

Yeah, it seems its the particular widget thats causing the issue. The regular one doesnt have much design option, but it works. So ill just stick with it, thanks again David.

[David]

Pretty bad show that they stripped the hook, personally i leave pagebuilders out of woo, its complex enough lol. Glad we found the issue.
