Doesn’t seem to work with php 8 – it generates an error.

This is a really great plugin, and so simple to configure. I just hope you would
include product categories, that would be extremely helpful especially for a multi-
vendor market site.

Does not work with block editor or custom taxonomies, which in my case makes it 
unhelpful. If one is only using the classic editor and standard categories, it works
well.

I needed this to use for a custom post type and this plugin does not seem to support
restricting a custom post type taxonomies.
