Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

TarfandTech Category Navigator displays WooCommerce product categories as responsive image cards and lets shoppers move through their category hierarchy without a full page reload or AJAX requests.

  • Responsive category cards with category thumbnails or WooCommerce placeholder images.
  • Same-page drill-down navigation without AJAX.
  • Breadcrumb and back navigation, including a selected start-category boundary.
  • Maximum navigation depth configurable up to five levels.
  • Settings grouped into five tabs.
  • Global settings can be overridden for individual shortcode instances.
  • Keyboard-focus styling and support for prefers-reduced-motion.
