The filtering option in my wix-store is not working well in the mobile version.
I am using WixStudio. I have set the Category Page to show a certain number of categories from my Catalog. These show up perfectly in the Desktop and Tablet version of the website but not in the mobile version.
The default category list does not show up at all. If I set up a custom filter with the categories I want to show, only the first one in the list appears in the live site.
Anyone who has experienced this before?
Also, some of the translations (to Swedish) in the Category and Filtering pages are not that good and are inaccessible in the Settings pop-up. Any other way I can access them?
It sounds like you’re running into some issues with filtering and translations in your Wix Studio store, especially on mobile. For the filtering problem, check the mobile settings in your editor to make sure the categories are set up to display properly. If you’re using a custom filter, double-check that all the categories are linked correctly and try testing it on different devices to see if the issue persists.
As for the translation issue, you can manage translations through Wix’s multilingual tools, but if those settings aren’t accessible, you might need to explore alternative options like editing directly via content settings or using Velo for custom adjustments. If these steps don’t fix things, it might be worth reaching out to Wix Support or exploring more advanced customization options. Let me know if you’d like help working through any of this.
Thanks for your reply @Tech_Voyager.
Actually, I now realised it is not the filtering function that is the issue. What I am missing in the mobile version is the ability to Browse the different categories in the WixStore.
In the desktop version the different categories appear in the right side of the product grid. See below.
This list is not showing up in the mobile version and I cannot figure out why.
Thanks for your suggestions on the translation issue, I will check them out.
Here is an elegant solution that I came up with inspired from the one Wix suggests in their help pages.
According to Wix the category list that is displayed in the Category Page of the Wix Store through which users can navigate through the categories of the Store, is not visible on mobile devices.
This was the issue I was running into above and could not figure out why that list was disappearing.
Wix suggests one adds that list as a standalone menu into the design page; or as a submenu in the main menu if the website, which for most mobile sites will be the hamburger menu.
I decided to replicate the Category list, with the Browse by title, as a horizontal menu in the mobile version. Here is how it turned out.
