No options related to Category under Products
-
I’m currently building my website through Hostinger in WordPress, and I’ve recently come across an issue where I cannot find the categories option under products; only three options appear: all products, add new product, and reviews. I want to be able to add or edit the existing product categories, but right now I cannot find the solution to this problem. I’ve tried the AI assistant but nothing seems to be working for me.

The most common reason for the Categories menu to vanish in WooCommerce—especially on Hostinger managed setups—is that a ‘Client Interface’ or ‘Dashboard Customizer’ plugin has been activated to create a ‘cleaner’ look. These plugins often hide taxonomies like Categories and Tags to prevent beginners from getting overwhelmed. To fix this, look for a plugin called ‘Hostinger’ or ‘CartFlows’ in your sidebar; often, these have a ‘Basic’ vs. ‘Advanced’ view toggle. If those aren’t the culprit, try navigating directly to the categories management page by adding /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=product_cat&post_type=product to the end of your domain. If you can see the page via that direct link, then the menu item is simply being suppressed by your theme or a plugin, and you may need to check your ‘Screen Options’ tab at the top right of the Products page to see if ‘Categories’ has been unchecked.”
