php - Woocommerce plugin - nested products for subcategories

Question

I have a custom page to display some subcategory products related to a post. I am using woocommerce shortcode [product_categories number="#" parent="#"].

The only problem is that this shortcode only display a list of the subcategories under the parent category.

Ideally i would love to have something like this:

SUBCAT 1

----- Product 1

----- Product 2

----- Product 3

SUBCAT 2

----- Product 1

----- Product 2

----- Product 3

and so on.

Does anyone know how this could be done?

Thank you very much!

PS: I am a newbie in php and in woocommerce...

Answer 1

You can override the archive.php to The final result will be something like this.

• SUBCAT 1

  ----- Product 1

  ----- Product 2

  ----- Subcategory1 of SUBCAT 1

  -------- Product 1

  -------- Product 2

  -------- Product 3

  SUBCAT 2

  ----- Product 1

  ----- Product 2

  ----- Product 3

and add a template part ( extended_product_arcive_page_template.php ) to handle the hierarchy.I have done it for a client .Try to achieve this and if you can not contact me again .
