How Do I Show All Product Categories in a Single Page WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 6:08 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products online, then you may want to display all of your product categories on a single page. This can be a great way to help visitors find the products they’re looking for, and it can also help improve your website’s search engine optimization (SEO).

There are a few different ways that you can show all product categories in WooCommerce. One option is to use the built-in WordPress functionality to create a custom page template. Another option is to use a plugin like WooCommerce Category Page.

Let’s take a look at how to create a custom page template to display all product categories in WooCommerce.

First, you’ll need to create a new file in your WordPress theme called “page-product-categories.php”. You can do this using a text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text.

Next, you’ll need to copy the following code into your new file:

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Product Categories
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main">
<?php
$args = array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'orderby' => 'name',
'show_count' => 1,
'title_li' => '', // remove default title
'hide_empty' => 0 // show empty categories
);

echo '<ul class="product-categories">';
wp_list_categories( $args );
echo '</ul>';

get_footer();
?>

This code will create a new template called “Product Categories” that will display all product categories in a list format, ordered by name and showing the number of products in each category. You can then create a new page in your WordPress site and assign this template to it to display all product categories on that page. Remember to adjust your css accordingly, and to test the page after you create it.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products on your WordPress site, you may want to display all product categories on a single page. This can be useful if you have a lot of product categories and want to make it easy for customers to browse them all.

However, displaying all product categories on a single page can slow down your site. This is because WooCommerce has to load all the products in each category, which can take a lot of time and resources.

If you do choose to display all product categories on a single page, we recommend doing so on a dedicated page rather than your home page. This will help reduce the load time of your home page and improve the overall performance of your site.

Save your changes and upload the file to your WordPress theme directory. Now when you visit the “Pages” section of your WordPress admin area, you should see a new page template called “Product Categories”.

Select this template when creating or editing a page, and all of your product categories will be displayed on that page. easy!
