Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:32 pm

Adding a product category in WooCommerce is simple. Follow these steps:

1. Log into your WordPress Dashboard and go to Products > Categories.

2. Enter the name of your new product category in the Name field.

If you want to add a description, do so in the Description field.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a product category in WooCommerce, be aware that there are some potential risks involved.

First, if you are not careful when setting up your categories, you may end up with duplicate content on your site. This can hurt your search engine optimization (SEO) and lead to lower search engine rankings.

Second, if you do not setup your product categories correctly, it can be difficult for customers to find the products they are looking for on your site. This can lead to frustration and ultimately lost sales.

So, before adding a product category in WooCommerce, be sure to do your research and plan carefully to avoid any potential problems.

3.

Choose a parent category from the Parent dropdown menu, if applicable.

4. Select which attributes should be applied to products in this category from the Display type dropdown menu.

5. If you want to upload an image for this category, click on the Upload/Add image button.

6. Click on the Add new category button to save your changes.

That’s it! You’ve successfully added a new product category in WooCommerce.
