 * There appears to be an error in the following php code. Any idea?
 *     ```
       /**
       * @snippet Remove "Default Sorting" Dropdown @ WooCommerce Shop & Archive Pages
       */
       add_action( 'init', 'njengah_remove_default_sorting_storefront' );
   
       function njengah _remove_default_sorting_storefront() {
          remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 10 );
          remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 10 );

 * Here:
 *     ```
       function njengah _remove_default_sorting_storefront()
       ```
   
 * There’s a space between `njengah` and `_remove_default_sorting_storefront` that
   shouldn’t be there.

 * [@martini0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martini0/) after removing the
   space in the function name, it is working fine. So can you please try after removing
   that?
 *     ```
       /**
       * @snippet Remove "Default Sorting" Dropdown @ WooCommerce Shop & Archive Pages
       */
       add_action( 'init', 'njengah_remove_default_sorting_storefront' );
   
       function njengah_remove_default_sorting_storefront() {
          remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 10 );
          remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 10 );
       }
       ```

 * Got it, that was it indeed. However, the code is not working. I use Avada. I 
   want to remove all woocommerce sorting via PHP. Not via CSS.
