After renaming some product categories and changing order, the product category widget does not show some of the categories. (Likely the ones that were renamed no longer show.)

How do we fix this so we can show the missing product categories again?

The product category widget is driven by WooCommerce Product Filter.

The problem is caused because in Woocommerce Product Filter, there is an option to select certain product categories to show in the widget. Once the category name is changed, it becomes unselected by default. The only way to fix this is: (1) go into Woocommerce -> settings -> Product Filters and “Select Terms” section to select the categories, or (2) unselect all categories so all shows by default.
