4 minutes read

To display only child categories and products in WooCommerce, you can achieve this by creating a custom query using the WooCommerce product category and product functions. First, get the current category ID and then use it to fetch all child categories. Next, loop through these child categories to display the products within them. Remember to check if a category has any products before displaying it to avoid empty categories being shown on the page. Ultimately, this custom query will allow you to display only child categories and their respective products in WooCommerce.
