 * Hi all,
 * I’m looking for a way to determine of a category has two parents or not, aka 
   sub-sub category. My purpose is to display a different woocommerce template on
   this return, but I don’t know enough about WP and PHP to figure out if the category
   has two parents…
 * Thanks,
    -Lane

 * Lane,
 * Hi. If I am understanding your question correctly, I have a visual method that
   may be of service.
 * Log into your wp dashboard and on the left under posts click on categories.
 * Categories with dashes in front of them have parents.
 * Categories with two dashes in front of them have sub sub.
 * Does this help?
