CSS code to hide category is not working

Hello,

You can try the following code to exclude a specific category from the category widget dropdown:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'woo_product_cat_widget_args' );
function woo_product_cat_widget_args( $cat_args ) {
                $cat_args['exclude'] = array('10'); // Insert the product category IDs you wish to exclude
                return $cat_args;
}

[Code Source]

I would recommend using a plugin like Code Snippets to add the snippet to your site.

Hi @pleazo,

If your product category ID is 162 you may want to use this snippet:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'woo_product_cat_widget_args' );
function woo_product_cat_widget_args( $cat_args ) {
                $cat_args['exclude'] = array('162'); // Insert the product category IDs you wish to exclude
                return $cat_args;
}

Kindly confirm if you’re adding the code using CSS customization or the code snippets plugin recommended above. Kindly note the latter is required in this case.

Hi Chris @pleazo

This is actually a PHP snippet so we recommend using a plugin like Code Snippets to add custom PHP code into your site without directly accessing the functions.php file.

Here is a link on how to use the Code Snippets plugin:
