I am trying to: Create a new taxonomy for my woocommerce product

I expected to see: The single product page show my new taxonomy

Instead, I got: It didn't

So I create a new taxonomy for product type
how do I make it show in my product single page?

On the settings page at Toolset > WooCommerce Views you can specify which template file to use for WooCommerce products (and also the shop archive). See the attached screenshot.

When you use the default WC template then you have no control over what is displayed. If you want to customise the product page you can design your own Content Template for single products (including your custom taxonomy) and specify in the settings that you want to use the WooCommerce Views template file.

You can read more about it here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/getting-started-woocommerce-views/

Hi Albert

Sorry for the delay in responding to you, we have been experiencing a very high volume of support requests.

When you work with Views and WooCommerce (with the WooCommerce Views integration plugin) you can either use the default WooCommerce product page which you cannot modify in any way because it is generated by WooCommerce, or you can create your own custom product page as described in the documentation linked to in my previous answer.

If you opt to make a custom product page then you have to add content to the template using Views shortcodes, so you might effectively recreate the standard WooCommerce template, making small changes such as adding your taxonomy details to the template as well as the standard content such as product title and price etc.

If that sounds daunting you can use WooCommerce shortcodes too (hidden link). So you can add the [product] shortcode which will recreate the entire standard product layout. You can then also add additional content such as your taxonomy terms using Views shortcodes in the same template. That is the easiest way to customise the standard WooCommerce product page, but your customisations would then come before or after the WC product content generated by the [product] shortcode, you can't say, for example, add the taxonomy term immediately below the price. For that you would have to build the template content yourself entirely with Views shortcodes.
