  • Bug after updating from 1.2.10 to 1.3.0

    After updating the plugin from 1.2.10 to 1.3.0, draft/private WooCommerce products return as 404; after rolling back to 1.2.10, the problem disappears.” Flatsome 3.20.7 and WP 7.0.1 theme

  • Didn't do anything

    Plugin didn't work - the option to select the categories became visible in the settings section. I selected the categories I wanted to hide and saved changes but it made no difference to the visibility of the categories on the front end?

  • Not very usefull

    It does hide the category from my shop, but it also makes the url to the category non functional. Why would I want that? Then I might as well remove the category.

  • Should do what?

    Does nothing at all, remove from plugin site

  • Simple but effective

    Works quite well but there is one thing I would like to add/change. It would be perfect if the said categories and products could be hidden and still be available via direct link. This option could be enabled/disabled with a checkbox.
