When we disable the woocommerce hierarchical option, the plugin still generates the category links as hierarchical mode. I think on line 248 of class-auto-hierarchic-category-menu.php file, the slug param must be passed as "$slug" and not "$slug.'/'.$category->slug"

Well this was a nice discovery, a gem in the rough it seems. Thanks Dev for this lively addon. Does exactly what it says it does, and well. Works well with Custom Post types too. Cheers

I wonder why this is not included in the Core. Many hierarchically structured categories are unusable without this plugin.
