I was trying to understand what that trailing sidebar is, but screenshot You have made show quite different page that one, when I'm logged in, and still screenshot doesnt tell me nothing.
Please make again a screenshot of that "trailing sidebar" and then use some image editing software to highlight this element on screenshot.

I have the same issue. I ended up giving up using woocommerce because of that.
Let me explain what is going on.

When using woocommerce, even if there is NO WIDGETS CHOOSEN IIN SIDEBARS the product page always show 3 widgets in a sidebar. Those 3 widgets are: Pages widget, the Category widget, and the Search widget. All default widgets that comes with Fest theme.


We would like to disable those widgets from showing on the woocommerce pages

Does it also happens on our demo themes?
Or in other words... What would I need to do step by step to replicate this problem? (beside installing fest from QuickStart)

To replicate this problem, install woocommerce plugin on a quickstart install, and boom. You'll see the unwanted ubiquituous sidebars: category, pages, search

Thanks I see the problem now with woocommerce pages, it's true that it only apply to woocommerce pages. I simply did a sidebar (display:none;) at the moment, as I didn't have much time to clean out that mess. I am sure with proper selector though with css I could be more specific but I don't use sidebar anywhere on the site.

Is there a fix for this ? I would like to use woocommerce but I want to use it full page width, no sidebars. Why are these items showing in a sidebar ?

Can someone help from support ?

I have did exactly as You described - I have downloaded and istalled WooCommerce - excelling eCommerce plugin into fest quickstart, and activated it.
I don't see anywhere the problem You are describing here. Is there any aditional step I should do to mimic this behavior?

Ok, so you have installed Woocommerce. Now, add a product, and then go and check out the shop page where you see the product displayed in the frontend, make sure you schroll down, look underneath the product (see screencapture) , and you're going to see those annoying widget that came out of nowhere: Pages, Category and Seach, etc.

Please read this statement by Woocommerce
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/thir ... atibility/

After reading this, you might find a fix for the FEST template.

Gavick should make all their WP theme compatible with WooCommerce and Jigoshop.

As far as the widgets ending up below:

The same issue happens with another e-commerce plugin: Jigoshop
They address the issue here
http://forum.jigoshop.com/kb/customize- ... r-jigoshop


But, maybe you (from Gavick) could post a temporary fix, maybe based on what you read on those links I provided. The solution is there, but I am not a developper, so please walk me through ;-)

Hi,

For now only BikeStore and Storebox fully supports Woocommerce plugin, these themes have additional options connected with WC, and CSS styling which match to theme appearance.

It's difficult to implement full support for WC in our all themes, but it's simple way to achieve basic support:
in Fest directory create woocommerce.php file and add this code:
Code: Select all
<?php

/**
 *
 * Woocommerce Page
 *
 **/

global $tpl;

gk_load('header');
gk_load('before');

?>

<section id="gk-mainbody">
   <?php do_action('woocommerce_before_main_content'); ?>

   <?php woocommerce_content(); ?>
   
   <?php do_action('woocommerce_after_main_content'); ?>
</section>

<?php

gk_load('after');
gk_load('footer');

// EOF


or if you want fullwidth Woocommerce pages use this code:
Code: Select all
<?php

/**
 *
 * Woocommerce Page
 *
 **/

global $tpl;
$fullwidth = true;

gk_load('header');
gk_load('before', null, array('sidebar' => false));

?>

<section id="gk-mainbody">
   <?php do_action('woocommerce_before_main_content'); ?>

   <?php woocommerce_content(); ?>
   
   <?php do_action('woocommerce_after_main_content'); ?>
</section>

<?php

gk_load('after', null, array('sidebar' => false));
gk_load('footer');

// EOF

I am having the same issue with StoreFront and WooCommerce placing this sidebar below the product listing, and went out of my way to try and find the widgets, and they just do not exist... using a child theme... and placed your new WOOCOMMERCE.PHP at the theme root, and no change. This is a LIVE site, and am trying to root out some issues, this being a big one! Planning to hide via (display:hide) but it is FAR from a fix.

Hi,

@phillipsmind could you send me a PM with your website backend and FTP access? Then I'll be able to check the issue.
