This little plugins splits categories and products into two separate lists. It’s important that you DON’T ask WooCommerce to “Show categories and products” in the Customizing Tab. Set it to the default option “Show products”, and the separate listing for categories will automatically be added before the list of products. The frontend is by default in English, but is also available in German, Spanish, Danish and Russian. POT included for easy translation with [Poedit](https://poedit.net/), WPML or Polylang. Plugin is tested and tried with [Storefront](https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/) by [Automattic](https://wordpress.org/themes/author/automattic/). ## Screenshots [⌊This is a screenshot of the main Shop page in WooCommerce, when the plugin is active.

Yes, all your categories will be shown above the product list on archive pages. ### Will I be able to determine what pages will show the category listing? No, at the moment the plugin is always showing the categories above the products. If the current category doesn’t have any subcategories, no categories will be shown. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0126b5f07cf40c26788c96959250b853bfacfbabd694b8f2d7ca0b715bf7bd0c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great and simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-and-simple-174/)󠁿 [contactovisualpt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/contactovisualpt/) January 27, 2023 A simple plugin that does what we expected, split Categories from Products.Please keep the plugin updated and compatible with Wordpress and Woocommerce. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2e442b5d4b70a3c4bba5b1ccc8a6d3154bbb2f9be9b9ea1ee31a93f8ba58c294? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Makes shop pages more user friendly!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-shop-pages-more-user-friendly/)󠁿 [Morgan Hvidt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/morganhvidt/) August 23, 2019 The default WooCommerce “Show Categories & Products on the shop pages can be messy and confusing.
