 * This is a wonderful solution for us and really appreciate your work on this plugin.
   Thank you!! I’m wondering if there is there a way to have the parent category
   be open when you land on the page via the navigation menu? I’m using uber menu
   with dropdowns for the child product categories in the navigation bar. I’d love
   the sidebar to be open when they come to that page.

 * Hi, thanks for this plugin
    One question. What can I do to see products included
   in first level category. I have a situation: main category with one product, 
   two subcategories with one product in every of them, all quantities is 3. Whatever
   I click I can not see products from main category. Thank You for answer Bartek

 * Still no answer from the developer on this one….?
 * The plugin does work splendid, expect for the parent categories. Because it doesn’t
   open the page behind it.
 * So if you click on the parent category, it does the collapsing and shows the 
   sub categories. But you can’t click the parent one to show its own page. So if
   products are assigned to the parent, they are not possible to view in the current
   state of this plugin.
 * The link on the parent is there, but it doesn’t open its page. Maybe its an idea
   to remove the link on the categorie text. And add an arrow icon, before the category
   text that does the work?
