On my website I have a category for special offers (which contains some subcategories and products) and I want other categories to be hidden from Woocommerce Product Categories widget when user opens this "Special Offers" category.

I already tried to create custom sidebar to show only on this category but without luck.

How can I achieve this?

Maybe I can create two seperate widgets – one will display list of category "Special offers" subcategories and second widget will display other categories & its subcategories but.. how to show these widgets with that kind of conditional logic?

    You need to use the conditional is_product_category( 'my_category_slug' ).

    Reference: WooCommerce Conditional Tags

    You should try then this, to include also all subcategories of your ‘special_offers’ category.

    if ( is_product_category( 'special_offers' ) || is_product_category( array( 'my_sub_category1', 'my_sub_category2', 'my_sub_category3' ) ) ) {

    // My custom side-bar code for "Special Offers" category

} else {

    // My custom side-bar code for all other products

}

    Fine tune (adding or removing subcategories) and replace ‘my_subcategory1’, ‘my_subcategory2’, ‘my_subcategory3’ by your subcategories slugs, please.
