Won’t Display WooCommerce Product Categories

Resolved

Requested: 1 year and 11 months ago

So I just purchased the pro version of this plugin and I am trying to use the Sidebar Product Categories to display the WooCommerce Categories as the navigation sidebar.

I set the taxonomy as product categories but it just shows post categories.  How do I get it to show my product categories?

I am building the site on a local server so I do not have a link to send you to check it out.

  1. Hi Brenden,

    The plugin will display the product categories by simple selecting “Product categories” as your “Taxonomy” option.

    I double checked the latest version and it works exactly in this way.

    Since I am unable to see which options you are using here are a few suggestions:

    1. Check “Display widget on every page” and leave “– All Product categories –” selected.
    2. Check “Display categories on single posts”
    3. Check “Display highest level parent category”

    This should be enough to see how things work and fine tune from there.

    Hope this helps!

  2. Ok actually I figured out what it was.  The categories were not showing up because I did not have products in those categories yet, so I am entering test products for the moment to get around that.  Thank you for the quick response though!
