## Description

DawidKreator Bulk Category Editor for WooCommerce extends the built-in **Products
Bulk Edit** screen with category actions:

 * **Add** – assign additional categories without removing existing ones
 * **Remove** – remove only the categories you select
 * **Replace** – swap one category for another on products that have the source 
   category

Operations affect **only the exact categories you choose**. Parent and child categories
are never changed unless you explicitly select them. This plugin does not create
categories and does not change the WooCommerce default category setting.

WooCommerce always keeps at least one category on a product. If you remove the last
category, WooCommerce puts the product back in the **store default category**. That
is normal WooCommerce behaviour, not a plugin bug.

If you need products “out of” the default category, create your own category first(
for example **New**, **Unassigned**, or **Inbox**) under **Products  Categories**,
then use **Replace** (default  your category) or **Add** that category before you**
Remove** the old ones.

After you click **Update**, a confirmation dialog shows what will change. Categories
are then updated in small batches with a progress bar, and the other bulk edit fields(
price, stock, etc.) are saved by WooCommerce as usual. The confirmation for **Add**
can be turned off per user; **Remove** and **Replace** always ask.

No extra admin menus, no custom product screens, and no changes to storefront behavior.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install the ZIP from **Plugins
    Add New**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Ensure WooCommerce is active.
 4. Go to **Products**, select products, choose **Edit** from Bulk actions, and use
    the **Categories** section.

## FAQ

### Does this replace the WooCommerce bulk editor?

No. It only adds a **Categories** section to the existing bulk edit form.

### Will removing a parent category remove its children from products?

No. Only the selected category term is removed.

### I unchecked every category, but the default one is still there. Why?

WooCommerce does not allow a product with zero categories. After the last category
is removed, WooCommerce assigns the store default category again. Create a category
such as **New** or **Unassigned** (**Products  Categories**) and **Replace** the
default category with that one instead of trying to leave the product empty.

### Will this plugin create an “Unassigned” category for me?

No. You choose the name and you create it once in WooCommerce. Then use Add / Remove/
Replace as usual.
