How do I customize Shop > Category Pages?

Site URL: https://vintanthromodern.com

Hello-- I'm currently in the process of upgrading an existing site from 7.0 to 7.1 for a small business. I would love if my shop landing page could redirect to all of my shop categories and have customized landing pages for each category (clothing, home decor, new arrivals, kids, etc.). When I had a section to a store page, it shows up on every page of my store besides individual product pages. Help!

Essentially: I want my Store to have a landing page with images/redirects/etc. but don't want those elements to show up on the actual store category pages. 

Please post the URL for a page on your new site where we can see your issue.

If your site is not public please set up a site-wide password, if you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site. Please read the documentation at the link provided to understand how it works.

Please read the documentation at the link provided on how to share a link to your site to understand how it works. A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

We can then take a look at your issue.

Thanks!

I can't find a Store page.

Sorry - I didn't realize you couldn't see the back-end (duh!). I just moved the Store pages. You can find them in the main menu under Shop > Vintage > All or Shop > Modern > All (screenshot attached)

The easiest way is create new page for each category, then use Summary Block to pull products from product category, then you can design banner image, title...different for each category page

If I understand correctly the effect you want to achieve please see the following.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks! Both options work... now I guess I'm having an issue with breadcrumbs with the Universal Filter I installed on the shop pages. I turned on show > Category in the store, but -- for example -- if I'm on the Clothing page and click on the Filter to go to Home Decor... the category on top still says "Clothing". I was trying to get around this with my initial query, but it would definitely bog down my site if I made a custom section with the Section Reveal as I have like 20+ categories and subcategories. 

I might have to jump to the Universal Filter forums...

The Filters plugin only affects Product List Items, it does not affect the Title above, so you will see like screenshot.

You will need to contact Plugin Author. But I guess this is also out of the scope of support. But You try contacting him or post on their Slack group.
