Can I Hide a Category in WooCommerce?

There are many reasons why you might want to hide a category in WooCommerce. Maybe you’re selling products that are seasonal and you only want to show them during certain times of the year.

Or maybe you have a private category for wholesale customers that you don’t want general visitors to see. Whatever the reason, hiding categories in WooCommerce is actually quite easy to do.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Hide Products plugin. For more information on how to install a WordPress plugin, check out our step by step guide.

Once the plugin is activated, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products and click on the Hide Products tab. From here you can select which product categories you want to hide. Simply check the box next to the category or categories that you want to hide and then click on the Save Changes button.

And that’s it! Your selected product categories will now be hidden from your WooCommerce store.

PRO TIP: If you are considering hiding a category in WooCommerce, be aware that this may have unintended consequences. For example, if you have products in that category that are also in other categories, those products will no longer be visible on your site unless you also hide those other categories. This could make it difficult for customers to find the products they are looking for. In addition, hiding a category could impact your site’s search engine optimization (SEO).

Conclusion:

So there you have it! Hiding product categories in WooCommerce is actually quite easy to do with the help of a plugin. By following the steps above, you can easily keep certain products hidden from general visitors while still making them available to wholesale customers or those who know the direct URL.
