Follow up to Put the whole category tree to wordpress menu

    This is a continuation of a closed thread as support really didn’t give an answer.

    The issue is when a real company with real product use Woocommerce real companies tend to have more than 100 products. The current Woocommerce is severely limited out of the box for no good apparent reason. An end-user is forced to use some scripting or manually create possibly a hundred menu items.

    The current solution I have used for 250 categories with 3500 products.

    1. Use a plugin (JS menu) https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jc-submenu/
    This menu allows you to dynamically create your menus

    Only two drawbacks
    1. Not updated for the past 3 WordPress updates. Currently still works as of PHP 7.4
    and 6.0. Not sure if there are issues

    2.DOM becomes very large (with 200 categories) 4700+ objects added to the DOM.

    It would be nice if WordPress or Woocommerce would have this function built in.

    Also is there a way to use the plugin, woocommerce or another method to keep the DOM size down?

    Hi @signosisinc,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I’d recommend posting it as a feature request. You can add your request by following these simple steps: https://woocommerce.com/document/feature-request-portal/#section-4

    This is a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.

    I can also recommend the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal for resources on developing for WooCommerce.

    You can also visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers also hang out there.

    Please keep in mind, customizations and custom code like this falls outside the scope of our Support Policy and we’re unable to assist with it.

    If you need help with development or customizations, I recommend taking a look at the services offered on our WooExperts page: https://woocommerce.com/experts/
