Woo · Category menu

A list of top-level categories; opening one shows its subcategories underneath. No PHP: the subcategory loop reads the open category's id with a native dynamic data field.

Full-page views: desktop, phone and dark mode

At 1440px wide.

In the builder

Preview on the front end. Scripts don't run inside the builder, so here you only see the layout. Save and open the page to see the full result.

Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro ×2 (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Accordion, Accordion · Soft (FBK Accordion) › Properties: Open the first item, Several open at once, FAQ schema · Style group: Style, Open item accent, Open title color, Hover effect, Title color on hover, Background · Icon group: Icon, Look, Tone, Shape, Size, Hover effect, Icon position · Layout group: Numbers, Columns · Autoplay group: Time per item, Autoplay on phones.
4. Select Category item ×2, Category · Subcategory ×2, Category · Sub-subcategory ×2 (query loop) › Query: taxonomy, number of terms and order.

Requirements

• WooCommerce. Needs WooCommerce active, with the products/fields this template queries already set up.
• Code execution. Needs "Execute code" enabled for the role in Bricks → Settings → Custom code, or the JS block shows as plain text instead of running.

What each requirement is, and how to set it up once for the whole site: Requirements.

Finish by hand

• The query loop is on Category item (top-level categories; the item itself loops, so Bricks gives every title its button role and keyboard), Category · Subcategory inside each item (its children) and Category · Sub-subcategory under each subcategory (a third level). Change the number or order there (Query > Terms). The numbers are WooCommerce's product counts (they include the products of the subcategories).
• Style, icon and whether several items can stay open are properties of Accordion.
• A category without subcategories is a plain link (no arrow) thanks to the script Categories without subcategories as links; without it, its row opens a panel with the link.

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-accordion, .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--light, fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--dark.

How the library follows your site's color scheme: Dark mode and preview.
