Showing 3rd level category list

  • I have searched and can’t seem to find a solution for this situation.

    I have level 1, 2, and 3 categories like:

    Backpacks
    -Hydration
    –Hi Viz
    –Camo

    What I want to accomplish is when the user clicks on a level 1 category they can see all sub categories listed rather than products (I am calling these level 2). Then, when they click on a sub category I want it to display all 3rd level categories rather than the products.

    Right now it is displaying the first two categories as requested but I can’t find an option to have it display categories 3 levels deep. I’ve even searched plugins.

    So say they click on Backpacks (level 1) they currently see all sub-categories like Hydration for example. I then want it to display another layer of categories if they were to click Hydration. I am not sure on the technical name of this 3rd level category set but hope the above explanation explains well enough what I am trying to accomplish.

    Is there some setting on WooCommerce settings that I am not seeing? Is there a plugin that can accomplish this if not?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!s

  • Hi One2!

    Here is what I have made to make this work.

    <?php
  $taxonomy     = 'product_cat';
  $orderby      = 'name';
  $show_count   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
  $pad_counts   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
  $hierarchical = 1;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
  $title        = '';
  $empty        = 0;

$args = array(
  'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
  'orderby'      => $orderby,
  'show_count'   => $show_count,
  'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
  'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
  'title_li'     => $title,
  'hide_empty'   => $empty
);
?>
	<ul>
	<?php $all_categories = get_categories( $args );
	foreach ($all_categories as $cat) {
		if($cat->category_parent == 0) {
			$category_id = $cat->term_id;

			echo '<li><a href="'. get_term_link($cat->slug, 'product_cat') .'">'. $cat->name .' <span class="count">('. $cat->count .')</span></a>';

			$args2 = array(
			  'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
			  'child_of'     => 0,
			  'parent'       => $category_id,
			  'orderby'      => $orderby,
			  'show_count'   => $show_count,
			  'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
			  'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
			  'title_li'     => $title,
			  'hide_empty'   => $empty
			);
			$sub_cats = get_categories( $args2 );

			if($sub_cats) {
				echo '<ul>';
				foreach($sub_cats as $sub_category) {
					$category_sub_id = $sub_category->term_id;
					echo '<li><a href="'. get_term_link($sub_category->slug, 'product_cat') .'">'. $sub_category->name .' <span class="count">('. $sub_category->count .')</span></a>';

					$args3 = array(
					  'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
					  'child_of'     => 0,
					  'parent'       => $category_sub_id,
					  'orderby'      => $orderby,
					  'show_count'   => $show_count,
					  'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
					  'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
					  'title_li'     => $title,
					  'hide_empty'   => $empty
					);
					$sub_cats_sub_cats = get_categories( $args3 );

					if($sub_cats_sub_cats) {
						echo '<ul>';
						foreach($sub_cats_sub_cats as $sub_cat_sub_category) {
							echo '<li><a href="'. get_term_link($sub_cat_sub_category->slug, 'product_cat') .'">'. $sub_cat_sub_category->name .' <span class="count">('. $sub_cat_sub_category->count .')</span></a></li>';
						}
						echo '</ul>';
					}
					echo '</li>';
				}
				echo '</ul>';
			}
			echo '</li>';
		}
	}
	?>
	</ul>

    Hi melves901

    Where abouts do you insert this code?
    e.g. Template – which template? etc.

    Regards

    Hey Melves901, I know this is a little old now but i was wondering if you knew how to get the category image for the categories. Ive got it to work for second level categories but I am targeting a specific 3rd level category to display on a page.. Anything that could help.

    thanks
