I don’t want the product-categories in the sidebar being opened by default. How can I prevent that?

i saw an answer on other 8theme theme, but i cannot find the file
script.js in woopress.

the solution was:
1. Open file /js/script.js

2. Remove (or better outcomment) this part: if(jQuery(’.categories-group.opened’).length > 0) { //jQuery(’.categories-group.has-subnav’).addClass(‘opened’); }else{ // If doesnt exitst opened point jQuery(’.categories-group.has-subnav:first’).addClass(‘opened’).find(‘ul’).show(); }

thanks

Hello,

To close first category, edit wp-content/themes/woopress/js/etheme.js file. Find and comment out line 1718
$this.find('>li').first().find('.open-this').html(minusIcon).parent().addClass('opened').find('ul.children').show();

so its mean after every update i will need to do it again, right?
thanks!

p.s. i never edited that file, but that line its on LINE 1808.
and by the way, its just between the ELSE code, so i should comment out like that:
```
else {
               //  $(this).html(minusIcon).parent().addClass('opened').find('> ul, > div.nav-sublist-dropdown').slideDown(200);  //
            }
```

Hello,

Yes, but if you’ll use the Child Theme you can save it.
https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/woopress/index.html#!/3_child_theme

Please copy this file with changes into it saving folder structure like:
wp-content/themes/woopress_child/js/etheme.js.

Regards,
Robert Hall.

Hello,

You can create child theme https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and make changes there.
You need add the code in your child theme functions.php file:
```
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'etheme' );
function etheme() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'etheme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/etheme.js' );
}
```
Then create “js” folder in child theme and copy etheme.js file with needed changes in the child theme “js” directory so you won’t lose modifications after theme update.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.
