  • Works really fine with WooCommerce

    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

  • This doesn't work

    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.

  • Works really fine with WooCommerce

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

  • Works perfectly (hides a product category)

    Exactly what I was looking for. Hides a seasonal category (christmas) from the shop page. Thank you for developing this.
