hide some products

  • Hello everybody I have a problem with my e-commerce site. I was able to create a new category, but when I created that category, it was automatically populated with thousands of products. I would like to know how can I hide these products from that category and only show the ones I want to add later. Thank you all

    I recommend getting in touch with WooCommerce’s support about this via https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/ if you have any of their paid WooCommerce products or https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce/ if you do not.

    Hello @rplaceshopping,

    It seems like your e-commerce site’s category creation triggered an automatic population of products, which wasn’t your intention. To resolve this, you can follow these steps:

    1. Bulk Edit or Remove: In your e-commerce platform’s admin panel, navigate to the category in question. Look for an option to “Bulk Edit” or “Select All” products within that category. Then, you can choose to remove them from this category.
    2. Product Attributes: Check if your e-commerce platform allows you to set specific attributes or tags for products. You can assign a unique attribute or tag to the products you want to keep, and then configure the category to only display products with that attribute/tag.
    3. Product Visibility: Some platforms allow you to control product visibility within categories. You can individually edit each product and choose whether it should be visible in the problematic category.
    4. Import/Export Tools: If you have access to import/export tools, you can export the products from the category, make the necessary changes (remove unwanted products), and then re-import them.
    5. Plugin or Extension: Depending on the e-commerce platform you’re using, there might be plugins or extensions available that offer more advanced control over product categorization and display.

    Remember to take a backup of your website and database before making significant changes to avoid any potential data loss. This will give you a safety net in case something goes wrong during the process.

    I hope these suggestions help you regain control over your category and products. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!
