Hide Categories On Shop Page

விளக்கம்

This free WooCommerce extension permits you to hide categories on your shops main page.
For this you have to save the categories with ‘,’ seperated in woocommerce > settings > products tab section.

In order for this to work you have to have Categories displayed. This can be set via Customizer. Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog.

“Choose what to display on the main shop page.” Select Show categories as seen in the Screenshot below.

Additional Information

For users who has a different/custom page for their shop you can edit the wc-hide-categories.php file
Find line # 127 and remove //

//$mwd_opt4 = in_array( 'product_cat', $taxonomies ) && ! is_admin() && is_page('YOUR_PAGE_SLUG'),

Then find line #129 /*|| $mwd_opt4*/

Change to
|| $mwd_opt4

To remove products from those categories find line 160

// Uncomment the function below if you also want those products hidden
/*
    add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'mwd_hwcosp_remove_product_in_cat' );

    function mwd_hwcosp_remove_product_in_cat( $q ) {
        //hwcosp_global is the databse row entry
        $opt_terms = get_option('hwcosp_global');

        // Processes our users data to the way we want it from above
        $data = mwd_hwcosp_comma_separated_to_array($opt_terms);

        $tax_query = (array) $q->get('tax_query');
        $tax_query[] = array(
                             'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                             'field' => 'slug',
                             'terms' => $data, // Set Category Slug which products not show on the shop and Archieve page.
                             'operator' => 'NOT IN'
                            );
        $q->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
    }
*/

I can see there are 2 people they told the plugin isn’t working. But they are wrong. It’s working properly. If you want to work with this plugin then you have to go to woocommerce >> setting >> product >> Hide Categories On Shop Page and then in this box first type eg : (prnt.sc/Y-vk69VlUXkD) then copy your category slug and pest in the box. Save changes and clear your site cache. And your age good to go. A very good plugin for removing categories on a single product page. Hope the above instruction will help new users. Thanks

Not only doesn’t this plugin work right. It throws PHP warnings and fills the error log. At this point, this plugin hasn’t been updated in over a year.

It was able to hide unwanted categories from all widgets of a WooCommerce site, where even 3rd party code snippets failed. Very good.
