Running 2.2.5 (Luma)

In the category, when I use Display Mode: Products only or Static block and products, the layered navigation is clearly visible on the frontend. However, as soon as I switch to Static block only the Layered Navigation is no longer visible.

I've tried this on 2 seperate 2.2.5 installations. Did something change since 2.2.2 because I'm sure this used to work before upgrading.

EDIT: I just installed 2.2.2 (Luma + Sample Data) and tested. It seems this didn't used to happen.

  • Seems, this is normal. Whenever I select category Display Mode: Static Block Only. The layered navigation and products should not be visible. Because I select this mode to show only static block's contents in the category page, not products or filter.

  • Magento 2 Demo Data circumvented that by using <referenceContainer name="catalog.leftnav" remove="true"/> in the Layout Update XML section of the category. Perhaps this updated change is in fact by design. So that leads me to the question, How do I get it back...

  • @Craig I saw this behaviour return in 2.3.3 where in display mode static block only I still got layered nav, but in 2.3.4 it seems to be gone again - no layered nav. Did you ever find a workaround?

Magento core saw that functionality as a bug see https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/17038

In the code difference between M2.3.3 and 2.3.4 (https://github.com/magento/magento2/compare/2.3.3...2.3.4#diff-4e3e31cf219d441cb8727ac984998ad07454b20466f6bbb7d380e6a8debe1994 see app/code/Magento/LayeredNavigation/Block/Navigation.php) the change that "fixes" this "bug" is adding in the additional check for the category display mode

$this->getLayer()->getCurrentCategory()->getDisplayMode() !== \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::DM_PAGE

So in order to have this bug on your site, you would need to modify the canShowBlock method to not check the display mode.

As it is a public function, this can be easily solved with a plugin. https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/extension-dev-guide/plugins.html
