Category Tree

jrevell1976

We are building a 4 level deep category structure for a website.
This works perfectly in the admin, but the frontend is only showing 2 levels deep in the api.

Can anyone assist with allowing the api to show the entire api for categories and sub categories please.

Code from api is below
[

}

Hello Justin,
Greetings!

Support for displaying third-level child categories on the frontend/API has been improved in the latest versions of Bagisto.

Kindly update to the latest version of Bagisto, as it includes the necessary changes for nested category support.

If you still encounter the same issue after upgrading, please let us know your Bagisto version and the API endpoint you are using. We'll be happy to assist you further.

Thank you!

Kartikey Dubey
