Broken Category Hierarchy

What this tool does

Finds category parent relationships that are invalid or point to missing terms.

Why it is useful

Broken hierarchy can affect category navigation and archives.

How to use it

1. Open Woo Toolkit → Taxonomies → Broken Category Hierarchy.
2. Run the scan.
3. Review the stored results and use search or pagination when needed.
4. Open the affected WooCommerce record if a correction is required.
5. Use Export CSV if you need to work with the results outside WordPress.

Scan history

Woo Toolkit keeps the latest 20 scans for this module. Historical scans are saved snapshots, so opening or exporting an older scan does not rerun the scanner.

Important notes

Take care when deleting empty terms: a category or tag can be intentionally prepared for future products.
