Customization is required for themes that use a complex menu structure. I can offer you a professional solution for this. Set up a staging site that is an exact copy of your production website on a temporary domain or subdomain for customization and development. Create your goal menu with manually added items. I can ask you to give me access as an administrator. This will help me to check the structure of the menu and find the solution.
How to automatically add hierarchic categories in WordPress Navigation Menus ?

If you like the plugin, please give 5 stars. Your positive feedback is important for me.
This plugin works well with many themes. If you are using a theme that uses a standard menu structure, the plugin generates the menu with zero configuration. However, some themes produce menus with a different structure. HTML elements and/or their CSS class names may differ. In this case the menu will not appear correctly on your website according to your theme. This is because of your theme, not the plugin. HTML and CSS knowledge may be required depending on the theme. If you have HTML and CSS knowledge, there is the possibility to adapt it to your theme using parameters. For themes that use complex menus, getting Pro version and customization would be the solution for you.

Hi. Love this plugin, I have been looking for something like this for ages. I am just having a little problem with it though - my categories are for a custom post type which has its own url, plus each category has its own category base set in the permalinks (which I can't remove). The plugin seems to simply go to the base URL and the category slug, ignoring the inbetween bits! Is there any way to fix this?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hi.
DeleteWhich shortcode did you use?
How was a link in the menu created?
What is the link in the menu supposed to be?
Hello hello, Usually specific “menu-item-…” is added as id + class to the li elements with normal WordPress menus. When using your plugin those classes, ids are not added to li‘s which makes it hard to hide certain entries etc.
ReplyDeleteI only get this:
li class="menu-item " or this:
li class="menu-item menu-item-has-children"
but no specific classes.
I’m running “Hello” theme.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi, I updated the "Development Version". So please update plugin manual and add chld_cid="true" parameter to your shortcode. Let me know if you have any other issues.
DeleteI'm not totally sure where to download it. Could you send me a link to the zip? Thanks a lot!
DeleteScroll down on the plugin’s page and click on the "Advanced View".
DeleteScroll to the bottom of the page and you will see an option to download previous versions of the plugin. Select "Development Version" option and click "Download" button.
Perfect. Now it's working. Thanks for taking your time. Really appreciated!
DeleteHave fun 😉
DeletePlugin is awesome! I have 1,300 product categories on a website we are building and this really helped organize much easier.
ReplyDeleteBut, it just stopped working. It was working, and then stopped and now just displays the shortcode as text instead of the drop downs.
Here is website: https://everybodyuniforms.com/
The Theme is Divi which is so widely used I figured we would be okay. And it was working, then stopped. so, confused.
Ideas to solve?
Thanks.
DeleteCan you share your installed theme and plugin details with me?
Tools \ Site health \ Info
Thank you for the positive opinion.
DeleteIf the shortcode appears as plain text, it's because of a plugin or theme. Read the documentation of the theme/plugin you are using and see how the shortcode is used. This plugin works the same as before.
Hi, please is there possibility to show menu collapse? I am using Woodmart theme, and I need automatically added Product categories. Everything works, but I need only to show main category, and when hover on it, then shoe subcategory. Now its everything under main category as list. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteCan you share the working demo link of the result you want to have?
Hello hello, could you imagine adding a "category image to nav items" funtionality. I'm using it for a "fake" polylanguage page and want to add language flags to my parent language categories. Thanks for your work. The plugin is really great! Cheers
ReplyDeleteI guess category images can be used with or without names. I will keep this in mind. I can work on it later.
DeleteThank you for your praise.
Hi, amazing simple plugin, thanks! Has been any update about adding the category thumbnails or in the case of Woodmart theme, to be able to add the menu icon previously set in each product category?
DeleteThank you. No, it doesn't have this feature. I can add it to the Pro version. You can use the contact form to hire me. I can work on it to do that.
DeleteHello! Thank you for this great plugin!
ReplyDeleteI'm using TheGem theme and WooCommerce, and I have many product categories. I want to have in the main menu a "Product categories" button and when the mouse is on this button to collapse with all product categories. The problem is that for now my menu contains buttons with all categories, but the "Product categories" button is missing. Otherwords, the button label is missing, but I have a lot of buttons with the categories.
I used this shortcode: [autocategorymenu taxonomy="product_cat"]
Could you please to advise me?
Thanks. Is there a demo address where I can see it working?
DeleteI cannot provide you a link to my working site because it is local, but you can see the menu of the theme here: https://preview.themeforest.net/item/thegem-creative-multipurpose-highperformance-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/16061685
DeleteI need a "Product categories" button and when hover on it, then show all categories.
Try this:
Deletehttps://tncyazilim.com/temp/iccWhh9AzH.png
You can use tastewp.com for tests.
Hi. What parameter I need if I want to specify category name to display all posts under that category not all categories.
ReplyDeleteWhat I understand is this: In the menu; Under the category, you want the posts included in that category. For example:
Delete- Colors (Cat.)
-- Red (Post)
-- Green (Post)
-- Blue (Post)
Sorry, this Plugin doesn't work that way. All of the menu items are categories. Maybe it will be possible to add this feature later.
Great plugin! I am having trouble though with a custom post type taxonomy: [autocategorymenu taxonomy="case_studies_category"]. The url comes out without the base of the custom taxonomy. I would expect the link url to be ".../case_studies_category/something/" but it is giving ".../something/" and those links give a 404 without the taxonomy base. Am I missing something? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the positive opinion.
DeletePlease, can you try with "Development Version". So please update plugin manual. I explained how to do it above.
I used this on another project and the development version worked great for the proper url for the custom post type taxonomy, thank you! Saved me tons of time. I may reach out to get a premium version of this because I'm using it on a huge project.
DeleteHow can i add some levels in hierarchy? I have about 3 subcategories like "doors > small doors > handle. Now i've set 10 levels and it shows only subcategories
ReplyDeleteUse the "level" parameter. The default value is 2. In this way, you only see the root and its first sub-branch elements. How many level branches do you want to use, assign this value. For example:[... level="3" ...]
Deleteadd class with current menu should be there
ReplyDeleteHi :-)
ReplyDeletethx for the pi (y)
i have added the parent_id as attr, so it can be used in the shortcode, in:
class-auto-hierarchic-category-menu.php
line 196: ,'parent_id' => 0 // parent id to begin with
line 237: $html=$this->atakanau_category($categories, $attr, home_url().$link_sub, $attr['parent_id'] );
Would be great, if you can add it to your code for the next release (y) :-D
thx for the good work!
Thanks. This is a good idea. I will try and check on next release.
DeleteHello! Is it possible to show only one category and its subcategories? How "included"?
ReplyDeleteShortcode includes all categories, too many to exclude
Hello. Identifying the starting category with the ID number is on my to-do list. For example: [autocategorymenu root_ids="101,102,103"]
DeletePlease I really need this feature!
DeleteHey
ReplyDeleteThank you for your amazing plugin!
I have category name "advice" that contains a lot of posts.
I want male the short code' should the shortcode neef to be like this:
[autocategorymenu hide_empty="0"]
[autocategorymenu taxonomy="advice"]
Or maybe something like this:
[autocategorymenu hide_empty="0"]
[autocategorymenu category="advice"]
Two of this sortcode doesn't work for me.
I use the default WordPress for post and tags.
Thanks :) !
Thanks. There are only categories in the menu. There are no posts. For now you can exclude categories by id number, eg. [autocategorymenu exclude="101,102"]. Identifying the starting category with the ID number is on my to-do list. For example [autocategorymenu root_ids="101,102,103"]
DeleteHi! Thank you for this plugin! Can you tell how to make it in order which I want?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Menu items are listed alphabetically. Adding the sort parameter is on my to-do list.
Deleteok. We are waiting for it
DeleteHi, Working on a Property site and there is a CPT for the properties with their own category taxonomy. Your plugin correctly identifies and displays the categories but the URL is missing a subfolder. This is what it should be https://ajo.casa/it/property_category/residenziale/ and this is what your plugin outputs https://ajo.casa/it//residenziale/
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to fix this?
I see that the plugin is used on your website. As you want it to be, the link generated in the menu already has the category base address and the subcategory address. As in: https://ajo.casa/it/property_category/residenziale/
DeleteThanks, I worked it out by the time you checked it. I have a request. Please add the Ability to set an 'active' class to the A record (e.g. If link url = browser url then add class name) and the ability to edit the menu item after adding.
DeleteI have a feature request! Can you accept a optional argument "root_id" that takes a category id as input, and as a result of that being provided uses such id ad the root of the hierarchical tree being displayed?
DeleteChallenge accepted 🙂. Determining the starting category is on my to-do list. May be next release...
DeleteHi i am have created a menu but when i insert the shortcode the items appear as a bullet list and not with dropdowns. I am using Breakdance builder. Is it possible to make the menu appear as it should normally is.
ReplyDeleteHello. This plugin creates the menu in HTML format. The appearance is related to the theme you are using. You have to customize generated HTML via plugin parameters, such as prnr_cls="???" . You can check the examples in the post. If you need professional help, you can write to me using contract page / form.
DeleteI am using the Shoptimizer theme by commercegurus and I cannot see the menu items come up at all using your plugin. Would this be an issue specifically with Shoptimizer?
ReplyDeleteThe menu produced by the theme you are using may be non-standard. You should use appropriate parameters according to the targeted CSS and HTML code. If you need professional help, you can reach me via the contact form.
DeleteHi. Ive added your plugin to our website which is in development. We use a hover/slide-out menu with Generatepress but unfortunately it doesnt work on devices because when you touch a category it opens the category page instead of showing the next submenu.
ReplyDeletePlease advise.
Thanks
Hello. What is the address of the demo site? The screenshot showing the situation you are talking about will be more understandable. You can use the contact form.
DeleteI am facing the same problem as previous users indicate in their posts. The category link is missing from the url. The url should be .../schools/school-1, but is .../school-1. I have the latest version in use, 2.0.1.
ReplyDeleteMy shortcode is [autocategorymenu taxonomy="scholen" hide_empty="0″]. The site is local only.
I hope you can help
I understand this; you are using the "scholen" custom taxonomy. To use custom taxonomy, you need to purchase the paid PRO version.
DeleteNice post thank you Taylor
ReplyDeleteLove your plugin! Unfortunately, only top level categories are showing. Subcategories do not populate. Site is https://sustainablespree.com
ReplyDeleteIt is the hamburger menu (to the left of the search bar).
Shortcode I am using is: [autocategorymenu taxonomy="product_cat" level="4"]
Hi, try adding this parameter: prnt_cls="nav-sublist-dropdown"
DeleteYup. That did it. Thanks!!
DeleteHi there! This seems perfect but I'm having trouble with the URL structure.
ReplyDeleteMy category page URL looks like this:
https://www.site.com/blogname/archives/category/characters/
This plugin produces the following (invalid) url:
https://www.site.com/blogname/category/characters/
Any idea why this might be the case? Appreciate any insight you might have.
Thanks!
Hi, I confirm that the plugin is generating the correct link addresses.
DeleteEven if you change the "Category base" value in the "Permalink" settings, it generates the correct category url accordingly:
Default (empty):
https://site.com/category/uncategorized/
"kategori":
https://site.com/kategori/uncategorized/
"archives/category":
https://site.com/archives/category/uncategorized/
Possible causes of the problem:
You are using custom taxonomy (PRO version required).
You are using old version ( Update it )
hello, does the premium version include:
ReplyDelete- support and compatibility with elementor
- in the case of categories (post or woocommerce), addition of the category slug as the element class
- added active classes (elementor compatible)
THANKS !
Hello 👋
Delete+ Yes, both the free and pro versions are compatible with all builder plugins that use shortcodes or the default WP menu base, including Elementor.
+ Adding the "slug" value of the category to the HTML "class" property: I can add it to the pro version. That's easy.
+ Automatically add the active class to the menu item is not available, for now. It's on my to-do list.
Hi There, any chance you have an integration for Elementor?
ReplyDeletePlugin also works with the Elementor Page Builder.
DeleteIs it compatible with Avada theme?
ReplyDeleteI added shortcode with level="4" parameter to blog section of the main menu.
But only top level category names are displayed, not post name in each category.
Yes, the plugin is compatible with the Avada theme. This plugin adds categories (taxonomy) to the menu. The ability to add posts is a special request.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThenks for the plugin.
Its works fie to me:
https://develop.supercenter.com.uy/
I have a Question, there is anyway to show all the productos in two columns?
thanks
I think it works as you want now. If not, please write again.

Hi! Is it possible to add a different class to children link?
ReplyDeleteFor example:
parent a_cls='menu-item'
children a_cls='menu-sub-item'
Hello. No; this is not possible for now. But I can add this special request to the PRO version.
DeleteHi! How are you?
ReplyDeleteIts a great plugin. I upload the version and now doesnt works any more.
I have this code:
[autocategorymenu hide_empty=”0″
taxonomy=”product_cat” chld_cid="true" chld_cls=” sub-sub-menu menu-item” ]
Hello, thank you.
DeleteAfter updating from pre-2.0.7 to the latest version, the plugin cannot reactivate itself. Please reactivate the plugin manually.
Also, make sure that the parameter values are inside double quotes ( " ).
Hi there. Thanks for creating such a nice plugin! This sort of stuff should come default on Wordpress!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I'm struggling to get mey menu to show on my page. I'm using Elementor, using the Hello theme. I've created my 'Auto' Menu using the shortcode: [autocategorymenu hide_empty="0"], then I have used the Elementor Widget 'Wordpress Menu' to place it on my page, but unfortunately nothing shows up - not even main categories. I have watched your video and the only difference is allocating the menu to the 'header'? Is this a requirement? May be I've done someting wrong! Thanks for your time.
Hi, thanks.
DeleteAs you said in your next comment, other plugins can affect the default behavior and cause it not to work as expected.
Hello. Just as an update. I had the Crocoblock JetMenu plugin enabled, and this stopped the menu from displaying. I have deactivated the JetMenu plugin now and can see your plugin working. Sorry! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that it solved your problem. You can also add the shortcode as a component / widget directly to your theme, instead of using a menu.
