How to Show Related Categories in WooCommerce Admin Panel

If you’re managing a WooCommerce store, you might find the need to display related product categories in the admin panel for easier product management. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to customize the WooCommerce interface by adding new columns to display related categories effectively. Whether you’re aiming for a cleaner overview or enhanced functionality, we’ve got you covered.

The Problem

While the default WooCommerce setup offers many useful features, it might not include everything you need, especially for custom categorization. A WooCommerce user recently shared their experience trying to add a custom column showing related categories in their admin panel.

The initial code snippet they shared successfully added a new column, but when they attempted to populate it with related categories, the content would not display as expected. Let’s break down how to achieve this properly.

Step 3: Verify the Result

After implementing the above steps, you should see a new column titled Also See... in your WooCommerce products list, presenting the categories associated with each product.

Handling Common Issues

No Data Displayed

If no categories are shown after applying the code, ensure that:

The product_cat taxonomy exists and is being used in your products.

The get_the_term_list function is retrieving the correct product ID.

Retrieving Cross-Sell Categories

If you're looking to display cross-sell categories, the query would differ slightly. Here’s how you can accomplish that:
