    Hello,

    i don’t understand how to show total_taxonomy for each parent category whithout all categories in my website. Even with exemple with just texts, i don’t understand how to modify the code. Can you help me please ? For this code: 

    [total_taxonomy before="Total product categories: " taxonomy="product_cat" on_zero="No product categories."]

    Thanks ! 🙂

      Hi, Thomas,

      Please update the plugin to the latest v1.7.1 (released today) – now you can set the parent attribute to current, e.g.:

      [total_taxonomy before="Total product categories: " taxonomy="product_cat" on_zero="No product categories." parent="current"]

      Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

      Hello, thank you very much for the update!

      I still don’t understand where I can enter the parent category ID in this code? The place where I put the cide, detect automatically the parent ID category ?

      Thanks for help! 🙂

      Hi, Thomas,

      Yes, it will automatically detect the current category and replace the current placeholder with an actual product category ID.

      I’ve tested it by adding the shortcode to a sidebar widget, and it seems to be working fine – the value automatically changes depending on which product category the user is viewing.

      Hello, it’s weird because it doesn’t detect the category on the page where the code is.

      For example, on my site for “Suzuki Recalls”, it doesn’t detect the category.

      Hi, Thomas,

      I’ve just registered, but I would need a higher user role to see the admin settings.

      Hello,

      Hello, okay, you are now admin,

      I test in this page https://carnews-france.fr/rappels-alpine for your shortcode.

      Hi, Thomas,

      I’ve checked the site, and now I’m not sure if I understood the task correctly in the first place.

      Few notes:

      It looks like you don’t have the product_cat taxonomy on your site (usually this taxonomy comes from the WooCommerce plugin). In your case, I think you need to use the category instead, e.g.:

      [total_taxonomy before="Total categories: " taxonomy="category" on_zero="No categories." parent="current"]

      Also, you are using the shortcode on a WordPress page, so we can’t automatically detect the current category, i.e., we can’t use the current placeholder I added recently. Instead, you would need to set the category ID directly, for example, for the “Rappels : Alpine” category on your site:

      [total_taxonomy before="Total categories: " taxonomy="category" on_zero="No categories." parent="813"]

      * However, it will still display “No categories” as it looks like the “Rappels : Alpine” category doesn’t have any subcategories.

      To use the current placeholder, you have to add the shortcode to the category view, e.g., https://carnews-france.fr/category/rappels-alpine/

      I hope this helps, and please let me know what you think.

      Hello,

      thank you for your feedback,
      in fact, I’m not looking for a sub-category for Rappels: Alpine, for example. I just wanted to have the total number of items in this main category, because each time I add an item, having previously checked the category of the item in question, I have to manually increment +1, nothing is automatic.

      Hi, Thomas,

      Ok, in this case, I think you need the [total_posts] shortcode. However, currently, it doesn’t have an option to select categories. Let me add it to the plugin and get back to you.

    • Thomas Sensier March 17, 2024 at 12:41 am #

      Hello,

      Allright, thanks a lot !

    • Tom March 27, 2024 at 10:28 am #

      Hi, Thomas,

      Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

      Please update the plugin to the latest v1.7.2 – now you can set category ID in the [total_posts] shortcode with the categories attribute, e.g.:

      [total_posts categories="195"]

      If you are displaying the shortcode on a category archive page, you can use current:

      [total_posts categories="current"]

      Also, you can set multiple categories with a comma-separated list:

      [total_posts categories="195,196,197"]

      Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

      It works perfectly, thank you very much!!!

    • Tom March 27, 2024 at 6:46 pm #

      Happy to hear it’s solved 🙂 Let me know if you need anything else.

      P.S. If you like the plugin, please consider leaving me a rating.
