If you know the depth that you want you can add a depth parameter to $args $args = array( ‘orderby’ => ‘id’, ‘show_count’ => ‘0’, ‘child_of’ => $this_category->term_id, ‘use_desc_for_title’ => ‘0’, ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’, ‘hide_empty’ => ‘0’, ‘child_of’ => $this_category->term_id, ‘depth’ => 2 ); wp_list_categories($args); Experiment with that number if it isn’t what you want. … Read more
