Need help hiding categories that are sold out

Found code that fixed it at least for now.

Hi @mayberrysoapcompany

That’s great to know. We’d appreciate it if you could also share how you solved the issue, to also help other members having similar concern.

I cannot remember the website I found the code on so I cannot give credit (I went to so many and found this around midnight the other night, but you take this code and add it to the functions.php in the theme editor at the end –

function nav_remove_empty_category_menu_item ( $items, $menu) {

    if ( ! is_admin() ) {
        
        $args = array(
        'hide_empty' => false,
        'hierarchical' => true,
    );

    $product_categories = get_terms( 'product_cat', $args );

    $exclude = array();
    foreach ( $product_categories as $category ) {

        $posts         = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'product', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'product_cat' => $category->slug, 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
        $show_category = false;

        foreach ( $posts as $post ) {

            $product         = new wC_Product( $post );
            $visible_product = $product->is_visible();

            if ( true === $visible_product ) {
                $show_category = true;
                break;
            }

        }

        if ( false === $show_category ) {
            $exclude[] = $category->term_id;
        }

    }

        global $wpdb;

        $nopost = $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, $exclude ) ) ) {

                unset( $items[$key] );

            }

        }

    }

    return $items;

}

add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', 'nav_remove_empty_category_menu_item', 10, 3 );
