1 of 5 measures had too little evidence to score. They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero — otherwise a plugin would be marked down for being small rather than for being poorly kept.Measured 2026-08-02 from the WordPress.org plugin registry.

Every rating WordPress.org holds for this plugin, not a sample. Written reviews live in the plugin's WordPress.org reviews forum.

This plugin displays a drop-down select with WooCommerce product categories.
After selecting the root category it displays another drop-down with sub categories and so on.
When the last sub category is selected it will redirect to the category page.

It is possible to select just one or two selects and click the search button.

It displays only the categories that have products.

Main Features:

  • Displays product categories as dependent drop-down selects.
  • Can be added to any page as a widget or with a shortcode.

You can check a demo page here:

You can read the installation instructions here:
README

Simple Code Idea:

The idea of this plugin is to keep the base version as simple as possible.
And to add the new features as modifications.

This plugin has just 7 files to make it easy to use and customize. If you need more features check the modifications page hottons.com/pcd_modifications
