  • Finally, a solution when you have more than 50 categories!

    My client has a complex online store and has over 100 product categories, sub-categories, etc. As long as I had 50 or less, the hierarchy of the cats/sub-cats displayed just fine when I'd create a menu from the Product Categories option; more than 50 and the menu tree would break and show all of those cats/sub-cats as individual, un-nested items. This plugin fixes that issue. Can't thank the developer enough!
