Hide empty categories menu

Hi @filipp0!

Where exactly do you want to hide the empty product categories from? The shop page, the main navigation, the widget?

Additionally, what exact functions have you already tried, so we don’t provide you with something you have already done.

Cheers!

thanks for your reply! I would like to hide the empty product categories in the main menu

I tried this function

add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', 'hide_empty_navbar_items', 10, 3 );
function hide_empty_navbar_items ( $items, $menu, $args ) {
        global $wpdb;
        $empty = $wpdb->get_col( "SELECT term_taxonomy_id FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE count = 0" );
        foreach ( $items as $key => $item ) {
                if ( ( 'taxonomy' == $item->type ) && ( in_array( $item->object_id, $empty ) ) ) {
                        unset( $items[$key] );
                }
        }
        return $items;
}

Hi @filipp0!

See if the following works:

Cheers!

I tried that function but it hides the cart and checkout links in the menu, while empty subcategories remain visible

I tested it and it worked on my website
