I do not want to make use of the ‘automatic’ category pages, but I want to only use my own pages for displaying products.

    Dear WordPress,

    I am a long-time member of WordPress, differing with different websites over the past years.
    With my current website I am having a problem.
    What I want:
    – My own pages (that I’ve later created) display the product and categories.

    What happens:
    – I have managed to get my products on my custom pages. However, when someone clicks on a product they have a kind-of sitemap above the product displaying for example: HOME / MODERN ERA / GADGETS.
    When someone clicks on either MODERN ERA or GADGETS in this case, the user is redirected to the automatic category page instead of my later-created custom page that displays the category.

    The solution:
    – The solution would be to somehow redirect, when the user clicks on MODERN ERA or GADGETS or a different category, to be redirected to the custom pages instead of the standard category pages. So maybe in the coding the redirect links could be changed and this problem would be solved. By doing this I kind of ignore all of the built-in category page options. Why? Because with my own pages I can edit more via my theme: Flatsome.
    If I want to edit the automatically generated category pages, I do not have as many options as I have on my custom pages.

    My online Woocommerce store: http://www.Neyse.shop
    Categorie examples:
    – http://www.neyse.shop/classical-era
    – http://www.neyse.shop/accesoires
    – http://www.neyse.shop/modern-era

    Category examples of what I plan not to use:
    – http://www.neyse.shop/product-category/modern-era
    – http://www.neyse.shop/product-category/modern-era/gadgets

    So basically I want to get rid of the whole product-category thing and replace it with my own custom pages because then I can edit it more.

    I have searched online for this for quite a while but I could not find a solution.
    Please help.

    Hi there,

    It sounds like you are needing help with the WooCommerce plugin, but have landed on the support forum for WordPress.com sites instead.

    We don’t offer WooCommerce on WordPress.com (unless you are upgraded to our WordPress.com Pro Plan) so we’re not your best point of contact, but the good news is that help is available by contacting WooCommerce staff here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce

    The folks over there are familiar with your plugin and in the best position to assist. Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
