Problem creating subcategories manually in database

  • Since we have our own product importer we also want to create categories and subcategories directly in the database. Creating a parent category is succesful and this shows up in both the backend anf frontend.

    However, when we add a subcategory and set the parent to an existing category it doesn’t show up anywhere. Navigating to the category by typing in the https://www.url.com/slug works so it is created in a right way.

    After searching and cracking my brain over this I can’t figure it out. The weird thing is if I use the category edit pages in the backend, and I edit the parent category (just click edit and save, without changing anything) the subcategory magically appears.

    So it must be triggered somewhere that tells the code if there is a subcategory or not, but I cannot find it anywhere… can anyone help?

    Hi,..I’d like to give full support @phusebox to address Woocommerce about clearification how to professional manage the backend warehouse logistics and organizational structure capability than currently creative available.

    We really need to be able to set Main Categories, Sub Categories and infinite Sub-sub Categories non-/well related to batch and/or SKU nrs. within certain custom hierarchy models.

    As long as this is missing from the core Woocommerce solution it remains as just a start-up kit for short milage and/or stores with not more than 50 products before it enters full inefficient usability.

    So people first need to invest time and effort within the periferi on where/what and how they want to use Woocommerce for. If they plan to use it for a larger than above mentioned online shop it is obvious to focus on the backend shop product storage management.

    Cheers!
