Reading categories over the REST API, doesn’t return empty categories

    Hello,

    If I read the categories from WooCommerce through the RestAPI,
    it didn’t return categories, which are empty.

    GET Request is:

    
https://my.url.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products/categories?&per_page=100&hide_empty=false&consumer_key=XYZ&consumer_secret=XYZ

    If I assign a product to a category, the category will be downloaded without any problem.

    WC Version is: 6.9.4

    So what goes wrong?

    With best regards,
    Seek51

    Hi @seek51 👋

    Thank you for reaching out!

    If I read the categories from WooCommerce through the RestAPI,
    it didn’t return categories, which are empty.

    I’m not able to reproduce the issue you describe on the thread. With a default installation of WordPress, WooCommerce core and the Storefront theme I’m sending a GET request with these instructions to list all product categories and I still get a response with the category “Clothing” which has no items associated.

    Could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”. Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.

    Please also share a copy of any fatal error log found under WooCommerce > Status > Logs (if available).

    We look forward to your response.

    Thank you for your help.

Our template use the "User Access Manager" plugin for default.
So I couldn't deactivate them.

In the settings of the "User Access Manager" plugin is an option, to filter out empty product categories.

I changed the setting and now all is ok.

Shame over me :-(
