详情介绍:
Category Children Coupons for WooCommerce provides a complete replacement for WooCommerce's built-in coupon category restrictions with additional flexibility:
Include children mode: Select a parent category and all its subcategories are automatically included. With WooCommerce's default restrictions, selecting "Clothing" only matches products directly in that category - not products in "T-Shirts" or "Trousers" subcategories. This plugin includes the entire category tree.
Exclude children mode: Match only the specific categories you select, without including subcategories. This mirrors WooCommerce's built-in behavior but is managed within this plugin's unified interface.
Future-proof coupons: The plugin stores your category selection and dynamically expands child categories at validation time - new subcategories are automatically included (or excluded) without editing existing coupons.
Features
- Four category restriction fields for complete control:
- Product categories (incl. children) - allowed categories with all descendants
- Exclude categories (incl. children) - blocked categories with all descendants
- Product categories (excl. children) - allowed categories only, no descendants
- Exclude categories (excl. children) - blocked categories only, no descendants
- Automatic subcategory handling based on your preference
- Works alongside WooCommerce's other (non-category coupon) restrictions
- Customizable error messages via filter
- AutomateWoo compatibility - category restrictions are copied when generating coupons from templates
安装:
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/runthings-category-children-couponsdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
- Go to Marketing > Coupons and edit or create a coupon.
- In the "Usage restriction" tab, you will see four new category fields - two with "(incl. children)" and two with "(excl. children)" labels.

常见问题:
How does this differ from WooCommerce's built-in category restrictions?
WooCommerce's built-in "Product categories" field only matches products directly assigned to the selected categories. This plugin provides both options: "(incl. children)" fields automatically include all subcategories, while "(excl. children)" fields match only the exact categories you select - giving you complete control.
Can I use both this plugin's fields and WooCommerce's built-in category fields?
Not recommended. The built-in category check runs before custom plugin checks. They operate as separate restrictions (AND logic). If you use both, a coupon must first pass the built-in category rules, which may cause unexpected results. This plugin provides "(excl. children)" fields that mirror WooCommerce's built-in behavior, so you can use this plugin as a complete replacement without needing WooCommerce's built-in fields.
What happens if I add new subcategories later?
They are automatically included! The plugin checks category relationships at validation time, so new subcategories are picked up immediately.
Does this work with AutomateWoo?
Yes! When AutomateWoo generates coupons from a template coupon, the category restrictions are automatically copied to the generated coupon.
