How is a product displayed in a nested category?
In a Subcategory – If a product belongs to a subcategory (even if it also belongs to a parent category), then it will be displayed with that subcategory in the nested list. In the image above, take the “Pilsner Glasses” for example.
What happens if a category has its own subcategory?
All products only under “Home” do not belong to any subcategory. Note that subcategory names become links to the subcategory page so that customers can easily drill down the catalog to find what they need. This is true of category names on the Shop page as well. Q: What happens if a subcategory has its own sub-subcategory?
When does a product belong to a subcategory?
In a Subcategory – If a product belongs to a subcategory (even if it also belongs to a parent category), then it will be displayed with that subcategory in the nested list.

How to select products from all categories of one parent?
If this needs to be a generic solution that handles both parent and child categories seemlessly, you can check for a match at either level (assuming all category names are unique, and every product has a category): SELECT p.id, p.title, p.slug FROM products p JOIN categories c ON c.id = p.category WHERE c.slug = ‘apple’
Do you have to show all categories on your shop Page?
