WooCommerce product categories are missing hierarchy in appearance -> menu

    We have a fairly large Woo Commerce site set up with 5000 or so products. The categories are showing up fine, including hierarchy in the Products->Categories area and they have counts associated with them; however, when we try to add Product Categories to Appearance->Menus the hierarchy is not showing up. In effect, we cannot figure out what children (e.g. small, medium and large) go with what parent because it’s not displaying the hierarchy.

    This is with WordPress 5.2.2 and Woo Commerce 3.6.5.

    Thanks, in advance, for any advice!

    This is the solution:

    https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/attachment/ticket/18282/preserve-page-and-taxonomy-hierarchy.php

    Copy that code into a php file.
    Save the php file in a folder, upload to the plugins directory -> activate. Done!

    The plugin file idee mentioned solves the hierarchy problem and also lets you see all of your Product Categories in one list instead of having to page through. Thank you idee, and thank you Sergey Biryukov!

    Thank you @idee, that worked perfect!

    Hi, same problem here. Still not fixed? The solution of @idee may work, but I don’t have programming knowledge.

    I am testing with all plugins deactivated, but Woocommerce (3.9.1), Woocommerce Admin (0.25.1) and Woocommerce Services (1.22.3)

    Theme Twenty Nineteen.

    The hierarchy it is not showing properly in “Product categories” in Appearance / Menu. It shows all the elements, but some of them are in hierarchy and some other don’t. Hierarchy is showing properly in Products / Categories.

    Thanks!

    When in Appearance > Menu, there is a silly trick to know which category belongs to when having several categories or subcategories with the same name:

    Just add the category to the menu and expand the data, in the lower section you will find “Original: [link to the category]”. Just hover the mouse on it and you will be able to see the link and the slug in the lower left corner of your browser (at least in Chrome). The slugs must be unique, so you can know where that element belongs to and move it to its proper place in the menu configurator.

    Of course, doing this with hundreds of categories is crazy… I hope Woocommerce fix it.

    Hi, aramgh100, it seems there is no good solution yet… Only the trick of @javierr or the one of @jcesario .

    Anyway, the solution of @idee seems the better one. I didn’t use it because I closed the online shop, but I can help you if you need it.
