Only works on 1 category | WordPress.org

I am trying to get this to work on a top level category which has a number of sub-categories and sub-sub-categories. I doesn’t work unless I only apply it to the the sub-sub-category.

If I add more than one sub-sub-category it doesn’t work again!

The settings I’m using are:

Category – Equal to – sub-sub-category name1
or
Category – Equal to – sub-sub-category name2

I add a product from category name1 to the cart and it shows free shipping. I then add a product from category name2 and free shipping no longer shows but the other shipping methods do. If I delete either of those from the cart it shows free shipping again.

Not sure if I’m doing something obviously wrong….

Incidentally I find the Woocommerce shipping debug mode to be completely ineffective and have to purge the database after every test as per this post http://spencerbean.com/manually-purging-woocommerce-shipping-rate-cache/

Hi,

The plugin is very specific with matching the categories, by default the plugin won’t match with a child category when you’ve selected a parent.

Also when using multiple category conditions per ‘condition group’ it requires all products in the cart to have the given category. So you might want to split the category in different condition groups.

I’ve created a custom peace of custom code to also match the child categories when setting the ‘category’ value. You can put this in you themes functions.php; https://gist.githubusercontent.com/JeroenSormani/48f2d3667c3f32a218d3/raw/5d43a6b8a470949cc3d0a775bbe9650a5c8e54d1/wafs-custom-match-category-child.php

Hope that helps 😉

Cheers,

PS. the shipping debug mode works fine for me, it is recommended and almost required while testing.

Thanks. I tried that code in functions.php but then it gives all categories free shipping.

I’ve made some improvements, can you try this?
