Is there a way to display Woocommerce nav filter widget filters for shop page in all headers?

by

I didn’t found any documentation at all on how to do this. So here comes the work arround that worked for me.

  1. Register a sidebar in the functions.php file (you can change the name to whatever you want):

    function meir_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => 'Filters Sidebar',
        'id' => 'filters-sidebar',
        'description' => 'Sidebar for top filters.',
        'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '<div class="clear"></div></div></div></div>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
        'after_title' => '</h3><div class="filter_box"><div class="filter_wrapper">',
    ) );
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'meir_widgets_init' );

  2. At the end of the functions.php file:

    if (!is_admin()) {
function woocommerce_price_filter_init2() {
    global $woocommerce;

    //if ( is_active_widget( false, false, 'price_filter', true ) && ! is_admin() ) {

        $suffix = defined( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG' ) && SCRIPT_DEBUG ? '' : '.min';

        wp_register_script( 'wc-price-slider', plugins_url('/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/price-slider' . $suffix . '.js', __FILE__));
        wp_enqueue_script('wc-price-slider','',true);
//      array( 'jquery-ui-slider' ), '1.6', true );

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-slider', false, array('jquery'), false, true);

        add_filter( 'loop_shop_post_in', 'woocommerce_price_filter' );
    //}
}

add_action( 'init', 'woocommerce_price_filter_init2' );
}


function my_plugin_body_class($classes) {
    $classes[] = 'woocommerce';
    $classes[] = 'woocommerce-page';
    return $classes;
}

add_filter('body_class', 'my_plugin_body_class');

  3. After that Create a folder inside your template named cache-woocommerce-nav-filter

  4. In the template page you want to display the custom filters (our sidebar in this case is named filters-sidebar but can be change to anything else:

    if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')){

        }

        else{

            $hrcachfold = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )."cache-woocommerce-nav-filter/";
            $hrcachefile = $hrcachfold.date("YmdH")."-cache.php";
            $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
            $actual_link = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

            if ( is_shop() ) {
                if ( ($actual_link == $shop_page_url) AND !file_exists($hrcachefile) ) {

                    foreach ( glob ( $hrcachfold."*-cache.php" ) as $v ) {
                        unlink ($v);
                    }

                    ob_start();

                    dynamic_sidebar('filters-sidebar');

                    $content = ob_get_contents();

                    $f = fopen( $hrcachefile, "w" );

                    fwrite( $f, $content );

                    fclose($f);ob_end_clean();
                }

                dynamic_sidebar('filters-sidebar');         
            }

            else {

                $shoppage = file_get_contents($shop_page_url);

                if ( ($actual_link == $shop_page_url) AND !file_exists($hrcachefile) ) {

                    foreach ( glob ( $hrcachfold."*-cache.php" ) as $v ) {

                        unlink ($v);

                    }

                    ob_start();

                    dynamic_sidebar('filters-sidebar');

                    $content = ob_get_contents();

                    $f = fopen ( $hrcachefile, "w" );

                    fwrite( $f, $content );

                    fclose ($f);

                    ob_end_clean();
                }

                include($hrcachefile);
            }

        }
