I have tried to make a loop to display woocommerce product categories. I haven’t managed to do it with the “normal loop” with an own query. I can display categories in a list but I would like to use loop to display them.

Are you able to use the Woocommerce Shortcode for categories with the WP’s do\_shortcode action?  
[product\_categories]

Thank you. Shortcodes are ok. But if I want to use Bootsrap to modify which information to show, like:

Title Thumbnail Description xxxxx

How to do that?  
You can do a query and loop in Pinegrow to display Woocommerce products, but is it possible to use Pingrow loop -tool to display Woocommer categories?

Sorry, I know it can be done but I’ve never done that before so I don’t know off the top of my head.

WooCommerce is a complex beast, and Pinegrow does not currently provide any specific feature or helper for this plugin.

You should have a look at online tutorials like this one [https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/display-woocommerce-categories-subcategories-and-products-in-separate-lists--cms-25479](https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/display-woocommerce-categories-subcategories-and-products-in-separate-lists--cms-25479) or this one [https://www.cloudways.com/blog/display-categories-in-woocommerce/](https://www.cloudways.com/blog/display-categories-in-woocommerce/) and benefit from these examples to try to integrate the feature within your theme.

On top of visual features from Pinegrow, hand coding will be mandatory for this one.
