Worked perfectly with Storefront theme

Worked exactly as described with several themes including the storefront theme I settled on. You just check which parts you want to show or not and it adds and removes them.

Solved my problem!

Thanks for this plugin, i was not able to remove the products from homepage (actually they appeared twice at me since i “renamed” the product categories) Extremely useful plugin!
