Product Tables > Settings > ‘Archive Override’ facility lets you replace WooCommerce product grids on archive pages with WCPT tables. Different tables can be assigned for different archive pages. You can see a demo here for this facility.
Note: If you are using a theme builder plugin like Elementor PRO or Beaver Builder to create your archive pages like shop / category, then you need to follow this guide instead.
In case the following instructions do not work on your theme, please contact support with your theme name to get a prompt solution.
Required steps
First, download the archive-product.php file from the list below. Use the ‘general’ file if your theme name is not in the list:
- General: download file (compatible with most themes)
- Flatsome: jump to section
- X: jump to section
- Uncode: jump to section
- Bridge: jump to section
- Motors: jump to section
- TheGem: jump to section
- Woodmart: download file
- BeTheme: download file
- Jupiter: download file
- Doyle: download file
- Total: jump to section
- AccessPress Store: jump to section
- ShoppingCart: jump to section
- Roseta: jump to section
- Harrier: jump to section
- XStore: jump to section
Method 1:
In your child theme folder, create a new folder called ‘woocommerce’ and paste your archive-product.php file there. If an archive-product.php file already exists in the folder, rename it to archive-product.original.php in case you need it later.
In case this method does not work, please try method 2 below which works better for some themes like ‘twentynineteen’:
Method 2:
Paste the archive-product.php file directly in your theme root folder. Do not create any woocommerce folder, unlike the previous method. If an archive-product.php file already exists in the folder, rename it to archive-product.original.php in case you need it later.
After you are done with method 1 / method 2, we need to choose a table for your shop page. Go to WP Dashboard > Product Tables > Settings > ‘Archive Override’. Then, select a table for ‘Shop override table’ and save your settings.
Now when you open your shop / archive pages such as product category / product attribute term, the products should appear in the selected WCPT table instead of the default grid.
That’s all! 😊
— Following are theme specific instructions —
Flatsome theme
Do not copy over the archive-product.php file for flatsome! Leave it as it is.
Instead, in your flatsome-child theme create a new folder called ‘woocommerce’, then a subfolder inside it called ‘layouts’. Now paste the following 4 files in ‘woocommerce > layouts’:
X theme
In your X child theme create a new folder called ‘framework’, then a subfolder in it called ‘views’, then 4 subfolders in it with the name of each X theme stack: ‘ethos’, ‘icon’, ‘integrity’ and ‘renew’. Now paste the corresponding file in each of these subfolders:
- Ethos: download file
- Icon: download file
- Integrity: download file
- Renew: download file
Uncode theme
In your Uncode child theme create a new folder called ‘woocommerce’, then paste the following files it:
Bridge theme
In your child theme paste this woocommerce.php file.
Motors theme
In your child theme paste this woocommerce.php file.
TheGem theme
In your child them paste this woocommerce.php file.
Total theme
In your child them paste this woocommerce.php file.
AccessPress Store theme
In your child theme go to the woocommerce folder, or create one if it does not exist, then paste this archive-product.php file in it.
ShoppingCart theme
In your child theme paste this woocommerce.php file.
Roseta theme
In your child theme paste this woocommerce.php file.
Harrier theme
In your child theme paste this woocommerce-page.php file.

Also, to hide the ‘View switcher’ and ‘Products per page’ options above the archive table, please use this CSS:
.products-per-page,
.view-switcher {
display: none !important;
}
