 * Hi! I need to hide an entire category and sub-category. I dont want to delete
   the products, just hide them all.
    The proposit is to hide the cartegory Apple
   because I’m not going to sell apples since february, then in february I will 
   activate it again. May I can hide/show categories based on user roles? Only admin
   can see it… How can I do it? Thanks!
