edgarskairansParticipantHello,
I have categories that contain products.
My question is: I want to create a new category and add existing products from other categories to it. I would like the subcategories of those products to be displayed in the new category.Thanks

In WooCommerce, a product can belong to multiple categories at the same time, so you don’t need to duplicate products.
To achieve what you want:
Navigate to Products > All Products > Edit a product that already exists in other categories.
In the Product Categories box, simply check your new category as well. The product will now appear in both the old category and the new one.
See Screenshot for better understanding: https://ibb.co/x8z6n5sf

edgarskairansParticipantI was not planning to duplicate products. I also do not want to duplicate categories, because categories with similar names and content would harm each other in terms of SEO.
Thanks

In WooCommerce, categories are taxonomies, and products can be assigned to multiple categories, but the subcategories belong to their own parent category structure. That means WooCommerce cannot automatically “inherit” subcategories from other categories into a new one.
You can add the same product to multiple categories. You cannot dynamically reuse or mirror subcategories from other categories under a new category without duplicating them.

edgarskairansParticipantHello,
Okay, now to the question. I want the main categories they belong to to be displayed automatically — something similar to the shop page, where products are shown and it automatically shows which categories they belong to.

Can you please share some screenshots or examples of what you actually want, so I can further check and give you a possible solution?

edgarskairansParticipantHello,
In the second image, the products were added to another category. I would like the categories that these products belong to be displayed automatically in this category as well, like in the first image.
Thanks
