It allows you to define keyword-based rules per category and apply them in bulk to selected products.<\/p>\n\n Key Features:<\/strong>\n- Create flexible keyword rules per category.\n- Supports \"OR\" logic by default and \"AND\" logic via special syntax.\n- Exclude products via \"Not Contains\" keywords.\n- Bulk-apply rules to selected products in the Products list.\n- Import and export rules as JSON files for backup and transfer.<\/p>\n\n How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. Create and Save Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1.1. Go to WooCommerce > Keyword Category Rules<\/strong>.\n1.2. For each existing category, enter:\n - Contains:<\/strong> keywords separated by commas (example: 2. Apply Rules to Products<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 2.1. In the WooCommerce Products (All products) list, select the products you want to process.\n2.2. In the Bulk Actions<\/strong> menu, choose Apply Keyword-Based Category Rules<\/strong>, then click Apply<\/strong>.\n2.3. The plugin will evaluate all selected products, assign matching categories, and show a success notice.<\/p>\n\n Limitations:<\/strong>\n- This plugin does not automatically assign categories to new products when they are created or imported. The assignment must be triggered manually via Bulk Actions.\n- The matching is performed against the product title only<\/strong>.\n\u2013 Currently, the plugin works in one direction only: it adds<\/strong> categories to products based on matching keyword rules, but it does not remove<\/strong> any previously assigned categories when the keywords are removed or changed. This means: If you remove a keyword from a rule or replace it with a different one, the plugin will not remove previously applied category assignments from affected products. Once a rule has been applied, its effects remain in place unless manually adjusted via the product edit screen or other third-party tools.<\/p>\n\n This program is free software; you can redistribute it and\/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.<\/p>\n\n\nshoes, sneakers<\/code>).\n - Not Contains:<\/strong> keywords that should exclude a product (example: damaged, used<\/code>).\n1.3. To require multiple words to appear together, use \"AND\"<\/code> (with \"\") between them:\n - Example: shoes \"AND\" leather<\/code> matches titles containing both \"shoes\" and \"leather\".\n1.4.
