Works really fine with WooCommerce
by wasim6568·3 years ago
I can see there are 2 people they told the plugin isn’t working. But they are wrong. It’s working properly. If you want to work with this plugin then you have to go to woocommerce >> setting >> product >> Hide Categories On Shop Page and then in this box first type eg : (prnt.sc/Y-vk69VlUXkD) then copy your category slug and pest in the box. Save changes and clear your site cache. And your age good to go.
A very good plugin for removing categories on a single product page. Hope the above instruction will help new users.
Thanks

Not only doesn’t this plugin work right. It throws PHP warnings and fills the error log.
At this point, this plugin hasn’t been updated in over a year.

It was able to hide unwanted categories from all widgets of a WooCommerce site, where even 3rd party code snippets failed.
Very good.
