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.

Exactly What I Needed
by bengriffiths·3 years ago·2 replies
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.
