Plugin Description

Enhance your WooCommerce site by adding a "Related Categories" section to your single product and archive pages.

Automatically populate this section based on various criteria such as sibling, parent, or child categories, or manually curate related categories on a per-product or per-category basis, even allowing for customization according to product tags or other custom taxonomies.

The plugin allows full control over the section's style and functionality, including the number of categories displayed, the sorting criteria, and the layout.

Moreover, you can decide where to place this section on your page and customize its HTML templates to match your site’s design. For ease of use, the plugin also offers widget and shortcode options for displaying the related categories.

In all, this plugin provides a simple way to enrich your WooCommerce site, offering your customers a more immersive and satisfying shopping experience.

Plugin is simple. It adds related categories to the single product page and the archive category pages. I have granular control with selecting individual categories as well as the related categories under the same hierarchy.

Very Quick with responses, fixes and feature additions. Thank you!

Very useful plugin. It helps manage the display of categories on archives and product pages and to choose which ones to display with several options. It's even possible to choose a specific hook. And Tom Anbinder has been very helpful in adding a hook in his plugin that I needed and in helping me with my page builder.
I highly recommend this plugin and more generally Tom's seriousness.
