Using Sage 8 and go the base store and store product pages up and running following mainly [https://roots.io/using-woocommerce-with-sage/](https://roots.io/using-woocommerce-with-sage/) and WooCommerce Documentation. I also added the WooCommerce sidebar code from the archive-product.php template and added it to the file in the theme root:

```
<?php
		/**
		 * woocommerce_sidebar hook.
		 *
		 * @hooked woocommerce_get_sidebar - 10
		 */
		do_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar' );
	?>
```

It does not load anything. In setup.php I can comment out not loading sidebars on archive pages, but that does not solve the issue having the WooCommerce sidebar not load. Ideas?

Well, never mind. Solution for now has been to create a new sidebar for the store and to display it on the store category page only. The file `templates/sidebar.php` has now:

```
<?php if (!is_woocommerce()) : ?>
		<?php dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-primary'); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>	
<?php if (taxonomy_exists('product_cat')) : ?>
	<?php dynamic_sidebar('shop-main'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
```

The file `base.php` has another code snippet to load the sidebar for the product category page to the right:

```
<?php } elseif (taxonomy_exists('product_cat')) { ?>		
	<main id="main" <?php	Extras\main_class();	?>>
		<?php include Wrapper\template_path(); ?>
	</main><!-- /.main -->
	<?php if (Setup\display_sidebar()) : ?>
	<aside id="sidebar" <?php	Extras\sidebar_class();	?>>
		<?php include Wrapper\sidebar_path(); ?>
		</aside><!-- /.sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>
	<?php do_action('ianua_after_main_content'); ?>					
<?php } else { ?>
```

Finally, `setup.php` has:

```
// Store Sidebar
  	register_sidebar([
      'name' => __('Shop Main', 'ianua'),
      'id' => 'shop-main',
      'before_widget' => '<section class="widget %1$s %2$s">',
      'after_widget' => '</section>',
      'before_title' => '<h4>',
      'after_title' => '</h4>'
    ]);
```

to load the new sidebar.
