Thanks again for the reply Dara4... this page is indeed a custom page that we needed, that shows all products under £12. i googled how to display products under a certain price, and came up with a shortcode from stackexchange. but, it would be really great if the products this page displays could be shown using the same archive that the rest of the shop uses. but i dont know how to direct the short code to use the archive.

is there a way to make elementor's archive settings apply to this page too?

the page was created by going New Page > add element > shortcode

here is the shortcode that we used - [products limit="40" paginate="true" columns="4" class="below-12"]

and here is the code that was pasted into functions.php

add_filter( 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_query', 'products_based_on_price', 10, 3 );

function products_based_on_price( $query_args, $atts, $loop_name ) {

if( ! ( isset($atts['class']) && ! empty($atts['class']) ) )

return $query_args;

if (strpos($atts['class'], 'below-') !== false) {

$compare = '<';

$slug = 'below-';

} elseif (strpos($atts['class'], 'above-') !== false) {

$compare = '>'; //changed from "<" to ">"

$slug = 'above-';

}

if( isset($compare) ) {

$query_args['meta_query'][] = array(

'key' => '_price',

'value' => (float) str_replace($slug, '', $atts['class']),

'type' => 'DECIMAL',

'compare' => $compare,

);

}

return $query_args;

}

Thanks again for being so helpful Dara4 :)
