I am familiar with this short-code [product_categories number="0" parent="0"] for top level categories but is there a way to use a similar short-code with specific top level categories only?

Hi there,

You could use the [product_category] shortcode and specify the ids attribute. Here’s the documentation on that: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#product-category-shortcodes

Would you please give me an example of using IDS in a shortcade?

Hi there,

You could use the following:

[product_categories ids=”17″] (returns the category: https://d.pr/i/2d22PC)

or

[product_category category=”hoodies”] (returns the products in the category: https://d.pr/i/YjzvFO)

Hope this helps!

I tried [product_categories ids=”39, 26″] but it continues to show the categories in alphabetical order. I want to arrange the order of the categories shown.

You can use the “orderby” attribute in the shortcode. According to the WooCommerce documentation:

The default is to order by “name”, can be set to “id”, “slug”, or “menu_order”. If you want to order by the ids you specified then you can use orderby=”include”

The documentation for shortcodes can be found here.

Hi @hypevent,

A @linux4me2 mentioned, the orderby attribute is your friend here.

You can see the possible options for that attribute in the documentation here – https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#product-category-attributes.
