Had been spending a lot of time adding menu items manually from my hierarchical categories. Still not too late to save time from now on. And it works great with Otography theme. Thank you developer!

What a wonderful plugin. I am handicapped and my right arm is not working well, but I own over 50 websites and have built all of them myself. Working with wrong hand (I am right handed and damaged right arm in accident) i.e. left hand takes time. I love everything automatic which makes my life easier. That is why I loooove this plugin. 🙂 Million thanks to the developer(s).

Simple plugin that covers a functionality missed in both in WP and WooCommerce.

If you have many product or post categories this plugin is a real gem! Easy to configure, and if any help needed Atakan is greatly supportive. Thank you, cheers

This plugin is the only one for include categories in menus. I put 4 stars out of 5 because it remains to clarify the documentation or to include a syntax generator directly on the wordpress site… Regards

When we disable the woocommerce hierarchical option, the plugin still generates the category links as hierarchical mode. I think on line 248 of class-auto-hierarchic-category-menu.php file, the slug param must be passed as “$slug” and not “$slug.’/’.$category->slug”
