My form for client product fill is showing (bootstrap 3.0 needed to be loaded) and working fine but i think i have a next issue.
I want to make a page to show the archive (later with custom filtering).
I want to build it with the divi theme (together with the divi sensei plugin) for easier and better formatting options.

The sgl product page (sjabloon/template) is working fine but the archive page (with all products) does not show?

Is it due to the "must load bootstrap 3.0" setting that does not work with Divi (not supported?) or am i doing something wrong (newbie confusion)

If so then i am stuck between showing the form on a page or the products archive but NOT both??

Thx for answering,

Peter

OK Peter

You spoke about the product archive not working, and then you mentioned a page at hidden link

This is not the product archive.

In WordPress each post type can display single posts of that type, and an archive of posts of that type is automatically generated at the url using the slug of the post type. In your case that is hidden link

So when you created a custom archive at Toolset > WordPress Archives, that is the page that you were designing.

The hidden link page is a static page, not a 'special' page, i.e. the archive.

If you want to have a product search appear at that URL then you should create a View of products and insert it onto that page...

Hi Nigel,

I see the products now
When i use the search filter "markten" on this archive page it is not doing anything?
And why does it add the text "output with custom template" with every field/product and how to remove?

As I said in the chat, I had added that text just to demonstrate that the custom archive was working, let me remove it.

As for the filter not doing anything, that is because of your settings (screenshot): you have not added a search button. You can change the settings so that you do not need one.

Divi has a setting for pages to disable the sidebar, but that is only available on static pages, not archives, where the sidebar will always be shown and the only choice is whether to display it on the left or right.

When customising archives using Toolset you can use the Theme Options (the final section when editing the custom archive, see the screenshot), you can choose not to output the sidebar, but because the theme itself does not offer the option of full-width layout on archive pages it is not an option our integration can provide.

If you don't want a sidebar on archive pages you would need to add your own CSS rules to make the main content area full width. (You may want to submit a request to Divi to provide a full-width option for archives.)
