- To add a category, click the Add button and the Add Category table will display.
- To create a parent category, enter the category name and save, the slug will be automatically created for you. (Note: The description field has the option to be resized.)
- To set an image for the newly created category, click the Image edit button and upload an image or select from your Media Library.
- After saving, the Add Category table editor closes automatically, but if you would like to have this visible, you can set this by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Bulk Category Editor and select Show add category.
Bulk Add Categories
- In the bottom row of add category:
- Select parent category (optional – so you do not need this unless you want to make subcategories)
- Add category names like: Shoes, Jacket, Hoodies (use comma between each name)
- Click the bulk create button
- Done
With the bulk add categories you can easily create bulks of categories in seconds. One tip is to first create the main categories then create the subcategories.
