 * Hello!
    In my web site i use 3-level categories. Ex: Shop page 1.Flowers 1.1 
   daisy 1.2 camomile 2.Trees 2.1 evergreen tree 2.1.1 spruce 2.1.2 silver-fir 2.2
   broadleaved tree 3.Bushes
 * So, the issue is that I need only items 1,2,3 to be displayed on the Shop Page
   as well as only 2.1 and 2.2 should be displayed on the Tree Page. BUT what i 
   have is that on Tree Page and higher i have 2.1.1, 2.1.2.
    General options – 
   Products I set “display Categories”. But it doesn’t work, I still have lower 
   items on every page. Please help.

 * Would require some custom coding. Have a look at the following guides:
    - [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/exclude-a-category-from-the-shop-page/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/exclude-a-category-from-the-shop-page/)
    - [https://www.skyverge.com/blog/hide-certain-woocommerce-subcategories-catalog/](https://www.skyverge.com/blog/hide-certain-woocommerce-subcategories-catalog/)
 * Might also be worth looking into something like [http://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-nested-category-layout/](http://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-nested-category-layout/)
