Display data when category is empty

Question

I have the following code which inserts data to the bottom of a product category. It works perfectly however it only displays when a product is actually in the category, id like it to display in empty categories too. What am I doing wrong ?

    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop', 'wpm_product_cat_archive_add_meta' );
function wpm_product_cat_archive_add_meta() {
  $t_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
  $term_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
  $term_meta_content = $term_meta['custom_term_meta'];
  if ( $term_meta_content != '' ) {
    echo '<h2 style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold;">Local info</h2><div class="term-description"><p>';
      echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $term_meta_content );
    echo '</p></div>';
  }
}

Answer 1

You have used woocommerce_after_shop_loop action hook which is within the following condition:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

You should use woocommerce_after_main_content in order to display your data. Because it is outside of this condition. Your data will display even there are no products in the category.

UPDATE:

You can add condition to your custom function so that data will display only if the page is category.

Read this on how to use conditions for WooCommerce:

Some from there:

is_product_category()

Returns true when viewing a product category archive.

is_product_category( 'shirts' )

When the product category page for the ‘shirts’ category is being displayed.

is_product_category( array( 'shirts', 'games' ) )

When the product category page for the ‘shirts’ or ‘games’ category is being displayed.

So you can update your code as follows:

if ( $term_meta_content != '' && is_product_category()) {
    echo '<h2 style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold;">Local info</h2><div class="term-description"><p>';
      echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $term_meta_content );
    echo '</p></div>';
  }
