Magento | Correct use of Category tree settings

January 16th, 2024

Today we have a big update to announce regarding the behavior of the Category tree settings and its interpretation by our Magento plugins. The category view in Magento differs from the way it is presented in Tweakwise Demoshop which we consider to be desired and common behavior. This difference is related to the way how (sub)category levels in fact are shown.

We've added a setting to Magento2Tweakwise plugin in which you can define whether to use the old/existing way of presenting, or whether you want to use the desired way of presenting the category tree. The setting can be found under Stores > Catalog > Tweakwise > Layered Navigation >Category View in your Magento backend and is set to simple by default. This represents the current way of presenting and nothing will change if you do not touch this setting. If the setting is changed to extended, the category view is changed to the same view as the Tweakwise Demoshop.

The correct way of interpreting the category tree settings, is by showing multiple levels of categories always. This tree structure can be directly visible (recommended) or being collapsible depending on your front-end implementation. This differs from the link structure, where only the relevant category will be shown including the single parent category it belongs to.
