 * Hi,
 *  Is it at all possible to remove the entire product sorting area at the bottom
   of my shop page?
 * Thank you for your help in advance,
 * JJ

 * The usual method is to add this code to functions.php for your child theme:
 *     ```
       remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop’, ‘woocommerce_catalog_ordering’, 30 );
       ```
   
 * Unfortunately it is sometimes theme-dependent, so if it doesn’t work, a less 
   subtle method is to hide it with this in your custom css:
 *     ```
       .woocommerce-ordering {display:none}
       ```
   
 * If your theme does not have a setting where you can enter custom css, you can
   use a plugin like this one:

 * Thanks for getting back to me.
 * Unfortunately, neither of those options work. Strangely, I can hide the pagination
   and sorting menu but I cannot hide the product image, product name, price and‘
   add to cart’ button without hiding all the other product content on the page.
 * I also tried your suggestion with the Simple Custom CSS plugin and still no results.
 * Can you think of any other suggestions? I’ve noticed a fair amount of frustration
   online with the inability to hide/remove the sorting option at the bottom of 
   product pages.

 * I’m suprised my css suggestion to work. Please can you put the Simple Custom 
   CSS plugin back in with the style and I’ll try to debug it.

 * Thanks again for all of your help with this!

 * The ordering dropdown is no longer showing, which is what I thought you wanted,
   so I’ve reread the top post: it looks like you want to get rid of the whole block
   starting with “Showing 1–3 of 11 results” and the 3 products. That part is the
   shop page output. Sorry I should have read the brief more carefully.
 * Presumably on your Bookings page you have a bunch of shortcodes which show the
   other items above “Showing 1–3 of 11 results”. Make a new page called Shop and
   make sure this page is the one selected at WooCommerce > Settings > Products 
   > Display > Shop page. The Shop page becomes disused. The Bookings page now won’t
   show the shop page output any more, just the shortcodes output.

 * Perfect!
    That worked!
 * Thank you.
