I’m not able to edit categories

Hi Marco,

Can you make sure that the product categories were not unchecked in the screen options?

Hi Shane, thanks for your reply.
I have such a screen option selection possibility on the all products view. What it does is to toggle whether the table with all the products shows categories. (It was on, I tried toggling it on and off but it has no effect on the page edit settings)

I don’t have a page called edit product that looks like yours, when I want to update a product or create a new one it looks like the one here. It does not have a screen options selection at the top. If I click the three dots I see an option selection that opens a window but here there is no categories choice (see options pictures 1 and picture 2).

My woocommerce version is Version 3.4.5, and I have the latest version of wordpress.

Any other hints?
Thanks
Marco

Hello, can a Woocommerce guru help me find out if I’m doing something wrong here?

Is it normal for example that I get different looking pages that the one Shane posted?
(Please see previous posts)

I appreciate your help. Even just pointing me in the right direction!
Thanks
Marco

@malbasio It appears the block editor has been turned on for products in your site. WooCommerce disables this by default, so something else must be enabling it. You can use the snippet below and add it to your functions.php file or through a plugin like Code Snippets to turn off the block editor:

https://gist.github.com/jessepearson/ccfa3c952f83e1699768a2daab95486b

function jp_dectivate_gutenberg_for_products( $can_edit, $post_type ){
	if( 'product' === $post_type ){
		$can_edit = '';
	}
	
	return $can_edit;
}
add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post_type', 'jp_dectivate_gutenberg_for_products', 999, 2 );
