Bulk Category Editor Settings
Settings are under WooCommerce > Settings > Bulk Category Editor and includes two sections, General and Products.
General settings allows you to configure the following options for Categories:
- Categories per page: Set the amount of categories to display in the table (subcategories are excluded).
- Show add category: Select the checkbox if for example, you have to add many categories at once. If this is not enabled, you will need to click the + Add button to add a new category.
- Hide description: This option will default hide category description, click in name or slug to show description or uncheck Hide description on category page to show all.
- Filter by main category: Default the category filter shows all categories, if you have many categories this option make it more easy to use the filter.
- Custom Field 1: Enter a custom meta field (e.g. brand) – if it do not exist it will be created and be used on your categories.
- Custom Field 1 label: Enter a label for the field, this will be used as column heading on the category table.
- Custom Field 2: Enter a custom meta field (e.g. brand) – if it do not exist it will be created and be used on your categories.
- Custom Field 2 label: Enter a label for the field, this will be used as column heading on the category table.
Note: Custom fields is included in filters(search) and in bulk edit (regex functions) on the categories tab.
Products settings apply to the Move products tab:
- Products per page: Set the amount of products per page in the Move products tab
- Default product category: Set a default category. If you do not set a category, the default product category will be used (Uncategorized is common). Category is used when moving default products.
- Custom Field 1: Add a custom product field (meta or taxonomy) if you like to see e.g. Vendor in the product table.
- Is Taxonomy (Field 1): Check this if this is an integration field like e.g. Vendor (if you are not sure, try first with this uncheked)
- Custom Field 1 label: Use this to set a label / column heading for the custom field (so you know what it is in the product table)
- Custom Field 2: Add a custom product field (meta or taxonomy) if you like to see e.g. Vendor in the product table.
- Is Taxonomy (Field 2): Check this if this is an integration field like e.g. Vendor (if you are not sure, try first with this uncheked)
- Custom Field 2 label: Use this to set a label / column heading for the custom field (so you know what it is in the product table)
Example integration: In the example we have added an integration for WooCommerce Vendor (sold on WooCommerce.com marketplace). The custom field here is a taxonomy named: wcpv_product_vendors – so just add this and check the Is Taxonomy field + e.g. set Vendor as label and you have this integration done.
