WooCommerce product and category fields have disappeared
Updated September 15, 2026
If WooCommerce’s Products, Exclude products, Product categories or Exclude categories fields are missing from a coupon’s Usage restriction tab, the matching improved section is switched on in the Better Coupon Restrictions tab. The plugin hides WooCommerce’s fields so the same products are not set in two places.
Which setting hides which fields
- Ticking Enable under Improved Product Restrictions hides Products and Exclude products.
- Ticking Enable under Improved Category Restrictions hides Product categories and Exclude categories.
The fields come back as soon as you untick Enable, even before saving.
Where your products went
The first time you open the tab, anything already in WooCommerce’s fields is shown in the plugin’s table with a minimum quantity of 1. When you save with Enable ticked, the products are moved into the plugin’s table and WooCommerce’s Products or Product categories list is cleared. Exclusions stay in WooCommerce’s own fields and are edited from the plugin section.
Switching back to WooCommerce’s fields
- Note the products or categories in the plugin’s table.
- Untick Enable in that section. WooCommerce’s fields reappear on the Usage restriction tab.
- Add the products or categories there.
- Save the coupon.
If you untick Enable and save without re-adding them, the coupon is no longer limited to any products. The same applies if the plugin is deactivated or deleted, so check restricted coupons before removing it.
