Worked perfectly with Storefront theme
by philllupton·5 years ago
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!

I really needed a way to modify the storefront theme in as little time as possible. I happened to stumble upon it and was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Bravo.
