The goal of categorization is to organize items into groups that make them easier to compare and understand. In general, products can be divided into major categories which can then be further subdivided into more specific subcategories. As an example, consider the clothing industry. Clothing can be categorized according to its color, size, clothing type, and other features. These major categories can then be broken down into more specific subcategories, such as for colors blue, red, gray, green, etc.
You can also add product categories and subcategories using CoDesigner “Filters Advance”. To do this follow the steps below –
- First, you have to take two sections in Elementor editor.

- When it comes to taxonomy, there are multiple options available. For example, when selecting the taxonomy ‘Product Categories’, Shop can sort products according to categories such as clothing, accessories, hoodies, and t-shirts. This makes the search process for customers much easier and more efficient. This type of taxonomy system allows customers to quickly find what they are looking for and keeps them from having to go through an extensive list of products.
Choose taxonomy type
- Now, we have a filter section name “Category” for the “Filter Advance” widget.
Category Section
- When you click the “Category” option in the “Filter Advanced” widget, you will be presented with a list of categories that you can use to search for products. For example, when you click “Clothing”, you will be shown all the products related to clothing.

- Finally, you have successfully added categories and subcategories using the codesigner “Filter Advance” widgets.
