 * Hello,
    I’d like to have the ability to show the child categories in order underneath
   their corresponding parent attribute. Is there a way of doing this:
 * () Education (parent attribute)
    () – Elementary (child attribute) () – High 
   School (child attribute) () – College/University (child attribute)
 * I noticed there is a shortcode option “cat_propagation” that might do this but
   I tried it and it doesn’t change anything. Is this something thats only available
   in the paid version?

 * Ok so I purchased the full version and it shows the child attributes but they’re
   not organized by their parent attribute.
 * For example, this is what they are doing:
    ()Education (parent) ()Athletic (parent)()
   Government (parent) () Elementary (child) () High School (child) () College (
   child) () Athletic Centres (child) () Police (child)
 * This is what I want it to do:
    ()Education (parent) () Elementary (child) () 
   High School (child) () College (child) ()Athletic (parent) () Athletic Centres(
   child) ()Government (parent) () Police (child)
 * Is there a setting to set them up this way? Or a way through css?

 * Hi,
 * Please change in widget setting “Filter by” to “Product sub-categories” and change“
   Deep level” to the value that you needed. If you don’t know what value to set
   up, just set something like 999.
 * If this doesn’t help, please provide screenshot of the product categories.
 * Regards,
    Oleg

 * I can’t use the product sub-category filter because I’m using the product attributes
   to filter the products. Is there a way of getting it set up correctly with attributes?
 * Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like.

 * Hi tompowell,
 * We had a gap in the support for technical reasons. Sorry for this.
 * Our filter can have own order by value as text or number. Or you can have Default
   for the WooCommerce but it is working not always correctly as you see. For some
   weird reason WooCommerce not saving real order for the fields when you have set
   Custom Order first time.
 * How to fix: go to attributes(admin -> Products -> Attributes). Find attribute
   we will be fixing. Check if it has ‘Order by’ set to ‘Custom ordering’. If not-
   > click edit and set it. After this click Configure Items icon. Now in the list
   drag one of the items to the new order so it will be saved on that(new) place.
   That’s all =) You can set there any order you want and attributes will be sorted
   by your selection.
 * Regards,
    Dima
