No longer functional
by mdwish·1 year ago

Super Plugin, Great Work.

Superb Plugin, Well designed and strongly developed.

Thanks Team 🙂

Almost perfect!!!
by chusterclock·4 years ago

Great Plugin, very useful for big shops… The only thing missing for being perfect is ‘Menu Order’ option in ‘Populate from taxonomy’.

Wonderfull plugin
by Picturgency·5 years ago

I use it thanks to WPB Accordion Menu or Category who advised to work with your plugin. It’s so usefull. Works perfectly with my pages to populate menus easily and keep my entire website up-to-date. Thank you so much!

it’s great, just keep original sorting
by peterh4·5 years ago

Great little plugin! Pls just keep the original sorting of woocommerce product categories and it will work perfectly. Now I can’t use it because it does not allow me to keep my manual sorting of the categories which is what I need!
