I have a listing website with pages (Home, Listings, Blog), and I need to create another listing page that functions the same as the main listing page — including filters, categories, and a search bar. Is it possible?
Hi,
As suggested previously, the recommended solution is using categories, this is the exact purpose of categories - to separate listings into different pages, keeping all the functionality. Please add 2 top-level categories in Listings/Categories, then you can add these categories to the main menu in Appearance/Menus. These will be 2 separate pages, each displaying listings assigned to the current category, also displaying all the search filters, pagination, etc. You can then add sub-categories within each top-level category if needed.
The only possible downside is that category pages have the header section, with the category title and description, but if it’s confusion it’s possible to hide these headers with CSS.
Hope this helps
Actually, each of my categories has subcategories, that’s why. Is there any other option, or can you suggest a plugin for that?
Unfortunately there’s no other way as splitting listings into different pages (keeping all the existing functionality) is meant to be done with categories, it’s the way of grouping listings and separating them by pages. If you have existing categories/subcategories, you can still add 2 parent categories for them by changing the Parent option, this way you’d have 2 different listing types at the top level, each showing it’s listings (and listings within it’s subcategories) on a separate page.
Then, can I use WooCommerce for the additional listing page? Will it support it, or what do you suggest?
If you plan to use HivePress, then categories is the best way to organize listings into separate pages. If you use WooCommerce pages and layouts (such as Shop and Products) these are implemented in WooCommerce and not related to HivePress plugin. HivePress only uses WooCommerce checkout for integration payments (e.g. for memberships or marketplace).
Actually, I’m saying that I use HivePress for the main listing page. For the additional listing page, should I use WooCommerce or do you suggest something else?
If you use WooCommerce, this will be their Shop page that lists products, there will be no HivePress features or layout. If you need identical pages (in terms of features) with HivePress listings, but with different listings, the best approach is using categories instead of a common Listings page.
