Hi,
Good point. Yes, somehow the previous code with a small alteration did the trick:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 10 );
A 10 instead of 30.
I don’t know what happened earlier when it affected both, but now it’s only affecting the main woocommerce ordering. The one I posted in the text widget stands put.
