How Do I Add a Drop Down Menu in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:21 pm

Adding a drop down menu in WooCommerce is easy and can be done in just a few steps. First, log into your WordPress admin panel and go to the ‘WooCommerce’ settings page.

Next, select the ‘Catalog’ tab and then click on the ‘Product Categories’ sub-tab. Here you will see a list of all the product categories that have been created.

To add a new drop down menu, simply click on the ‘Add New Category’ button. Enter a name for your category and then click on the ‘Add New Category’ button again. Your new drop down menu will now be created and will appear in the list of product categories.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding a drop down menu in WooCommerce may result in decreased performance and stability of your website. We recommend only adding a drop down menu if you are confident in your ability to do so, and if you have tested the menu on a staging or development site first.

Now that you have created your drop down menu, you can add products to it by going to the ‘Products’ page and selecting the ‘Add New Product’ button. Enter a name and description for your product and then scroll down to the ‘Product Data’ section.

Here you will see a field for ‘Categories’. Simply select the category that you want to add your product to from the drop down menu and then click on the ‘Add Product’ button.

Your product will now be added to the category that you selected and will appear in the drop down menu when customers are browsing your store.
