If you’re using WooCommerce to power your online store, you may want to display all subcategories for a specific category on the category page. This can be useful if you have a lot of subcategories and want to make it easy for customers to find what they’re looking for.

In this article, we’ll show you how to display all subcategories for a specific category in WooCommerce. We’ll also cover how to style the subcategory list with HTML tags.

PRO TIP: If you are using the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, beware of a flaw in the way that it displays subcategories on your website. If you have a category with multiple subcategories, only the first subcategory will be displayed on your website. The rest of the subcategories will be hidden. This can cause confusion for your customers and may result in lost sales.

To display all subcategories for a specific category in WooCommerce:

  • 1. Login to your WordPress Dashboard and go to WooCommerce > Settings.
  • 2.

    On the General tab, scroll down to the Catalog section and look for the “Show subcategories” setting. Select the “Yes” option from the dropdown.

  • 3. Save your changes.

That’s it! You’ve successfully configured WooCommerce to display all subcategories for a specific category on the category page.
