Category Submenu Builder

Popis

Category Submenu Builder helps site owners organize WordPress post categories or WooCommerce product categories, turn them into menu structures, and display them with shortcodes, blocks, widgets, and native WordPress menus.

Main features

  • Create a main category and multiple subcategories in one operation.
  • Reorder and manage category groups from a dedicated builder.
  • Category Manager with search, edit, delete, move, duplicate, bulk actions, and recovery snapshots.
  • Category analytics and health checks for duplicate names, invalid slugs, orphaned relationships, empty categories, and menu usage.
  • Safe repair tools with automatic lightweight backups before selected repairs.
  • WooCommerce product auto-assignment rules based on title, SKU, tags, and configured keywords.
  • Product/post count badges with zero-count and placement controls.
  • Category display controls for hidden, featured, badge, schedule, SEO title, SEO description, and short description metadata.
  • WordPress Appearance > Menus integration with category highlighting, nesting, duplicate cleanup, and menu synchronization.
  • Visual Mega Menu settings with columns, images, counts, badges, limits, and hover behavior.
  • Smart utilities including shortcode generation, category intelligence, badge suggestions, and one-click storefront setup.
  • Storefront layout presets plus a theme compatibility checker.
  • Gutenberg blocks and Elementor integration when those editors are available.
  • JSON backup/export/import and CSV export.
  • CSV, TXT, TSV, and XLSX category import with preview, duplicate handling, rollback, and import history.
  • Security Center with upload validation, activity history, permission checks, and plugin file integrity checks.
  • Performance tools with local cache management and diagnostics.
  • Optional uninstall cleanup. Category/product/post content is preserved; plugin metadata is removed only when the administrator explicitly enables cleanup.

Privacy and external services

The plugin does not send analytics, telemetry, category data, or user data to an external service. Category, menu, backup, diagnostics, and settings operations run on the WordPress site.

Source code

Human-readable PHP and JavaScript are included in the plugin package. Readable source counterparts are also included for minified production assets so the shipped code can be reviewed and maintained.
