Things to consider

This plugin was tested on both 2.3.0.2 & 3.0.2.0 with and without SEO URLs enabled (if SEO links are disabled in your admin, this plugin will still generate links to said categories/subcategories, but the URL structure will have the native querystring URLs, rather than the pretty /myproductname style path.)

To enable the pretty SEO URLs, go to: Settings -> Edit -> Server -> Enable SEO URLs

• Make sure .htaccess.txt in the root directory of your site gets renamed to .htaccess (if on Apache)

• This plugin was not tested in situations where a product is not attached to any categories.

Tested in PHP 7.2+

Note

You do not need to clone this repository to utilize the plugin, all you have to do is download the zip file.

You can also download it from the Open Cart Marketplace.

I included the source in this repository for those who like to review the codebase prior to using new code.
