## Description

A simple plugin to separate categories from products within the WooCommerce archive
loop.
 By default the categories will be shown in a grid of 4 on desktop, three 
on tablet landscape, two on tablet portrait, and one on mobile. You can easily override
this behaviour using CSS.

WooCommerce archive page prior to the product loop.

### How can I customise the layout?

Using CSS you can customise the layout to your needs by targeting the “edh-product-
cats” class in the Customizer

body.archive div.edh-product-cats { grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);} in case
someone struggles for the css, this worked for me to make the categories appear 
in 3 columns instead of the standard 4.
