Hello,

I build a new website by using Toolset Types, Views, Layouts & WooCommerce Views and I also use Avada theme together with the Toolset Avada Integration plugin.

- I have created a custom product template and I have assigned that in a product layout and everything is ok!
- I am trying now to edit the archives page (/shop) which is the page of each product category and also the main woocommerce store page (/shop). I have created a layout and also a custom content template (Loop item in Tours Listing) and also a wordpress archive for that. I need to use a sidebar with woocommerce filter widgets (filter by price, category, etc) but I cannot make them work!

Can you please help with that asap?

Dear Panagiotis,

It is a known issue, and here is the feedback from our developers:
A WordPress Archive replaces the native archive, which means it does not listen to native sorting controls nor data at all. If all you want to do is change how each post in a native archive looks like, use a Content Template assigned to that archive, not a WordPress Archive.
see our document:
Using Content Templates for Archive and Taxonomy Pages
