Widget visibility: integrate with WooCommerce Shop Page

[jesscga]

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Add widget to widget area.
2. Under Visibility, select Show if Page is Shop

What I expected

Widget should appear on Shop page

What happened instead

Widget disappears and does not appear on any page

Workaround is using a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/, which works as expected.

What happens if you pick this option instead:

Does it work?

[jesscga]

Yes! Setting visibility to Show if Page is Products does make the widget appear on the Shop page.

Why has this issue been closed? Setting it to products is far too broad reaching. The only product page I want the widget to be visible on is the Shop page... not all product archive pages.

The product custom post type created by Woocommerce should have only one archive page; the Shop page. If you have other archive pages on your site, they most likely won't be affected by this rule. If you run into issues, send us some examples and we'll take a closer look.

Thanks!

I think to avoid this confusion, we may silently apply the logic for product archive page if users select the shop page?

We may give this a try, however I would be afraid of creating more confusion for folks with a "Shop" page that is not actually a Product archive page today.

I found that it will not show on category or shop pages. My way around it was to hide it on every page that I didn't want the widget on!
