    wc 3.2 introduces in the product admin list the category ajax search. this is good for large project for performance reasons.

    for smaller projects working with the ajax search is now much slower than the previous category list.
    as i have to type 3 letters, wait for the result, click on the category word. instead of just seeing all categories as a tree.

    it would be good to have a setting to choose which solution (search or list) works best for each project. or at least a recent search list.

    or is there a function for this?

  • I agree with oblaum! It became much longer for me to type 3 symbols as I’m disabled!
    PLEASE revise the feature! I think both options (list and search) would be best solution.

    i have reported it here now: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/17348

    at the moment it seems it is a milestone for 3.3 (planned for 10th jan 2018).

    keep finger crossed that it does not takes too long.

    Agreed!

    Also – I now can’t see a way to list products that aren’t in a category!

    is here someone, who can say which code line in which file from the 3.1 version needs to be copied to 3.2 as a temporary solution?

    Looking for someone to test:

    <?php
// restore old dropdown category filter on admin products page
// snippet goes in functions.php for your child theme if you have one, or you can use the "My Custom Functions" plugin
add_action( 'restrict_manage_posts', 'wcacd_category_dropdown', 15 );
function wcacd_category_dropdown() {
  // show the old dropdown category filter from WC 3.1.2
  wc_product_dropdown_categories( array( 'option_select_text' => __( 'Filter by category', 'woocommerce' ) ) );
  // hide the WC 3.2+ ajax category filter
  print '<style>.post-type-product .tablenav div .select2 {display:none;}</style>';
}
