It displays only the categories that have products.

Main Features:

Simple Code Idea:

The idea of this plugin is to keep the base version as simple as possible.
And to add the new features as modifications.

This plugin has just 7 files to make it easy to use and customize. If you need more features check the modifications page hottons.com/pcd_modifications

It does exactly what it says

Very good plugin, it works fine on our WP installation, and it is a great help to show the Product categories and subcategories anywhere via shortcode.

Excellent plugin and superb support

This is a very useful and reliable plugin for filtering the products in Woocommerce.
I am glad I found it and tested it!

Exactly What I Needed

By bengriffiths on August 18, 2022

Exactly what I needed for Vehicle Make > Model > Year category dropdowns. I appreciate the lightweight code that did not slow down the site, which was my biggest concern as I tested various plugins. The modifications page was also very helpful for the customizations I needed. Awesome plugin.

Useless

Simple and ease. Awesome free plugin.

This is the exact function I was looking for. Ease and functional, it's working properly with the last WordPress update. Thanks for your time and share this awesome work. Is it possible to show the subcategories selectors before you select the parent category? My client wants that function to fill the space in the form. Thank you anyway for this. Greetings.

Excellent

Hey, Thank you for this great plugin, even the simple features give it that extra style, We all know Woocommerce is limited with regards to style, layout especially the standard category dropdown, So adding simple multiple dropdowns is perfect.

Great way to simplify a storefront menu

I’d been fiddling about with accordion menus etc. but for stores with a huge amount of categories/sub-categories this is perfect.
