Can You Hide a Category in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:47 pm

Yes, you can hide a category in WooCommerce. To do this, you need to go to the Products tab in the WordPress admin dashboard and click on Categories. From here, you can either uncheck the box next to the category you want to hide or delete the category entirely.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on hiding a category in WooCommerce, be aware that this may impact your store’s search functionality and cause confusion for customers. Additionally, hidden categories will not be visible in the WooCommerce shop page or product category widgets.

If you want to hide a category from your WooCommerce store but don’t want to delete it, you can simply uncheck the box next to the category name. This will remove it from your shop page and any other places where it would normally be displayed.

If you want to completely remove a category from your WooCommerce store, you can delete it entirely. To do this, hover over the category name and click on the Delete link that appears. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the category before it is removed permanently.
