Hello,
I’ve a search form on that all work properly and that has the taxonomy ( needed to can use the category product because the category are related only to post category ) how source.
Is there a way to can manage the subcategories ( i ask it because on the elementor template the category widget not show the current category associated to product but only the subcategories )

Thank You

You can see on the site for that you have admn acces.

Now i have woocommerce product with their categories and this is all ok
I’ve created a form om that there is the field taxonomiy how checkbox and it search inside the categories.
Is there a way to can search inside the subcategories and not only in category ?

Ah, I understand, I think. You have a Parent category, and inside are children. You want to be able to search only children?

This is only possible if instead the Parent is its own separate taxonomy. This is discussed here a little:

Now i’ve only parent on that the search form work using the post meta taxonomy but maybe that i need to chamge the structure and have some parent categories with their child.
I read that is more difficult of that i thought 🙁

It is almost always best to organise data terms with searching in mind. Generally, this means having multiple taxonomies, each dedicated to their own type of data. Having just ‘Category’ and dividing this in to parents and children is generally not good.

Ok thank you for your suggest so, if i’ve uderstood i’ve done a good choice also if do not work well with a need to show the featured image of categry related to single product.
I’d need to can foudn and show the featued images of catgeries related to the single product but in Elementor there is not this option.
Thank you
