After selecting the root category it displays another drop-down with sub categories and so on. When the last sub category is selected it will redirect to the category page. It is possible to select just one or two selects and click the search button. It displays only the categories that have products. **Main Features:** * Displays product categories as dependent drop-down selects. * Can be added to any page as a widget or with a shortcode. You can check a demo page here: **[DEMO Page](http://hottons.com/demo/wp/odp/)** You can read the installation instructions here: **[README](http://hottons.com/demo/wp/pcd/README.html)** **Simple Code Idea:** The idea of this plugin is to keep the base version as simple as possible. And to add the new features as modifications. This plugin has just 7 files to make it easy to use and customize.
