WP Product Filter by category tree desappeared

It’s listed in 3.2.0 as “Feature – Ajaxified the product category filter on the products screen.”:
https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/CHANGELOG.txt

As I see the code does not allow the old category tree anymore, but completely switched to the ajax filter.

I checked the code and did not find a way to revert to the previous logic. But I would LOVE to have the non-ajax category filters back!

WooCommerce developers said it is because of the new update of WP. Does anyone know how to restore that feature or if it is possible enabling it from any settings?

same, i have about 30 categories …
i cannot do almost anything …

Looking for someone to test this fix:

// restore old dropdown category filter
// snippet goes in functions.php for your child theme if you have one, or you can use the "My Custom Functions" plugin
add_action( 'restrict_manage_posts', 'wcacd_category_dropdown', 15 );
function wcacd_category_dropdown() {
  // show the old dropdown category filter from WC 3.1.2
  wc_product_dropdown_categories( array( 'option_select_text' => __( 'Filter by category', 'woocommerce' ) ) );
  // hide the WC 3.2+ ajax category filter
  print '<style>.post-type-product .tablenav div .select2 {display:none;}</style>';
}

Hi,

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
