    Hello!
    That is great plugin! And I really like to use it, but I have one problem, that I hope you will help me to solve.

    I would like to show Custom menus in different Woocommerce Shop Categories pages, but plugin is able to show widgets for Taxonomies > product cat as hole, with no drill down option.
    Beacause of that all my custom menus are showing in all my Woocommerce Shop Categories pages.
    Is it possible to drill down “product cat” option in deaper level and show widgets on Product Page that corresponds to some custom Category?

    Please help me with that.

    The problem is that Woocommerce Category Shop page does not have permanent Page ID.

    I figured out how to achieve that I wanted.
    May be it will help to someone.

    Plugin have build in function that could check product category already.
    Every category have it own tag_ID. So you can check this tag_ID in admin page in Woocommerce Products> Product categories page.

    After that you need to configure Widget view by using:
    Show on checked pages> Taxanomies +/- > Product tag > and Enter defined tag_ID in additional field.

    Thanks updated here. Currently I’m comparing with Widget Context plugin too.

    @zurikus, I tried as you have suggested but it’s not working for me. I tried with WooCommerce parent category and sub-categories but no luck. Do I need to enable some other settings?

    @wrip to achive my target I used such aproach:

    1) I created “Custom Menu” with name Menu_Acc in Menu list (This menu consist of links to pages that are describing Accessories).

    2) In my Woocommerce shop I have category named as “Accessories”. So I created separate link in main Menu for this product category. (There is an option Product Categories in page selection in Menu editor, so you can take some category of your shop)

    3) So, now I would like My custom menu Menu_Acc (I included this custom Menu in sidebar region) for Accessories would be shown only on Accessories product Category (Page in Main Menu).

    To achive that I’m doing folowing :
    a) Go to Woocommerce products > categories (and hover mouse on product category name for accessories) and find out tag_ID for this category in bottom of screen it is shown as part of link (let it say tag_ID=15)
    b) Go To Widgets and add Custom Menu Menu_Acc to sidebar region and set options for display on pages:
    Show Widgets for : Everyone
    Show on Checked Pages.
    Select Pages where you would like to show menu + on “Taxanomies+/-” part you should select option “Product Tag” + you should enter ID of your product category in bottom list of pages that is not included in list (in my example it is 15)

    That’s it. It should work.
    You can check the result on https://www.tiki.lv page.

    @zurikus, I tried again but still not working. What WP version are you using? I am using 4.0.1.
