Dont hide on product category

I think I have the same problem. I will send you an email. The plugin hides categories only on the master “shop” link, but once you are inside a category all the other categories again appear.

Actually I cannot send you an email. Here are the links. Please look at the sidebar:

Correct: http://developer.venn-cycling.com/shop/
Fail: http://developer.venn-cycling.com/product-category/components/

Cheers,

V.

Hi Kaushik,

no the version 1.02 still only hides categories in the main “shop” page, nowhere else.

I already shared the links, please check them here:

Correct: http://developer.venn-cycling.com/shop/
Fail: http://developer.venn-cycling.com/product-category/components/

Fail shows “Uncategorized” category. I had to edit my categories structure to eliminate the clutter, but I need “Uncategorized” to be hidden. I cannot delete this category as that is where I parked all the “hidden” categories that are used for our custom product builder.

Sorry, I had shut down the server overnight. It is up again and I will leave it up until you further message.

I fixed the problem for my site by adding this snippet:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args', 'organicweb_exclude_widget_category' );
function organicweb_exclude_widget_category( $args ) {
// Enter the id of the category you want to exclude in place of '167'
$args['exclude'] = array('167' );
        return $args;
}

EDIT: even that did not work everywhere that I needed it to so I finally nuked it through css:

ul.product-categories li.cat-item.cat-item-167 {display: none;}
