{
    $query = null;

    if (!is_object($category)) {

    }

    if (!in_array($category->getId(), $excludedCategories)) {
        $excludedCategories[] = $category->getId();

        if ((bool) $category->getIsVirtualCategory() && $category->getIsActive()) {
           $query = $this->getVirtualCategoryQuery($category, $excludedCategories, $category->getData('virtual_category_root'));
        } elseif ($category->getId() && $category->getIsActive()) {
            $query = $this->getStandardCategoryQuery($category, $excludedCategories);
        }
        if ($query && $category->hasChildren()) {

Troubleshooting and todo in the future
--------------------------------------

[](#troubleshooting-and-todo-in-the-future)

### When change root category of virtual category, previous products still are in the category

[](#when-change-root-category-of-virtual-category-previous-products-still-are-in-the-category)

To remove product from categories run full reindexation.

### After turn on module, virtual category does not display products anymore

[](#after-turn-on-module-virtual-category-does-not-display-products-anymore)

If you see products on the preview in admin area:

[![](Docs/products_list_preview.png)](Docs/products_list_preview.png)

it seems that ES is able to return the right product IDs in the indexer.

Make sure that the script provides the right category object here:

`vendor/creativestyle/magesuite-elasticsuite-virtual-category-indexer/Model/Indexer/VirtualCategoryIndexer.php:150`

[![](Docs/category_2.png)](Docs/category_2.png)

should be the same as here:

`vendor/creativestyle/magesuite-elasticsuite-virtual-category-indexer/Controller/Adminhtml/Category/Virtual/Preview.php:67`
