Home » Community Plugins » WPEC Expanding Categories

By default, the categories widget in WP E-commerce is fully expanded. If you have a large number of categories and subcategories this can be a bit too much. The WP E-commerce Expanding Categories plugin amends and wraps the code that is discussed at http://ken.ph/wp-e-commerce-expandablecollapsible-menu/ in a WordPress plugin so that no editing of the theme is necessary, and turns the categories widget into an expandable/collapsible menu.

Works on both 3.7 and 3.8

    Unfortunately it doesn’t even install for me – invalid header. I am using the latest version of WP and WPEC.

    Guys, check your plugins folder… in my case it installed itself into a sub directory within the folder of the plugin… double foldered in some way if you know what i mean.

    Works……is it possible to expand the category clicking on the name and not on the plus button? Thanks,

    It works for me but the [+] symbol is located above the category and I’d like it to the left of each category. I’m pretty coding illiterate. Maybe it’s an easy fix on my end?
