I am trying to: Have my shop's products and product archives display within my site's Parent Layout. Have already tried assigning the Parent Layout to the Product Archive Layout.

I visited this URL: hidden link

I expected to see: Products laid out in block nestled in Parent layout.

Instead, I got: Header and Footer not displaying – asks to add new menu.

This shoudl work flawlessly when you follow this steps:

1. Activate the correct settings in Toolset > WooCommerce Views (select the option that will display layouts as well)

2. Create a Parent Layout

3. Add a Child layout cell to it

4. Create a layout that applies to the content or archives you want to style

5. Select the previous created parent layout as it's parent

6. Assign the Child Layout to your contet.

If this does not work, please check if the issue also persist with a WordPress Default Theme and NO Plugins BUT the Toolset Plugins?

If not, could you then re-enable the Plugins one after the other, and check the issue each time you enable a plugin?
Please report me when the issue comes back
It might also be due to the Theme.
Please do reactivate your Theme only after you are sure the issue isn't coming form a 3rd Party Plugin.

If yes, I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site
- preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible -
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed

Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would, if possible, need access to a site where only a minimal set of Plugins and a default theme is active.
This to avoid eventual compatibility issues with other software.

✙ I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site.
This is also a reason the backup is really important

✙ Please add the Links to:

- The Layouts Edit Screen
- The Views WordPress Archive Edit screen
