No longer works

sorry to bother but I’m now in that position: did you find an alternative solution?

I’ve looked at many snippets for functions.php but none of them work. This seems like an obvious feature that WC needs to support in the core!

I know this is a few months old, but I just uploaded a new version of this plugin that works and its under review. I had to rewrite 95% of it. You can however download it from my site in the meantime, Matrix Web Designers

Still doesn’t seem to work if Shop is the front page of the website ??

Example: https://coolgeardirect.com/ – Free plus Shipping category should be invisible (slug = “free-plus-shipping”

I don’t really want to have to use a separate /shop/ page…

TIA and thanks for the update ??

P.S. part of the problem might be that is_shop() doesn’t return True if the shop is the Home page…

Thanks for informing me. I honestly totally forgot to check that. Soon as I get to my computer I’ll update and test it.

In a future version I will have it look at the woocommerce settings and or have the user select the page via dropdown.

Thanks

Here is the new version on wordpress repo https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/hide-categories-on-shop-page/

Let me know if it doesn’t work. I tested it locally, but you never know.

There’s also notes on the main page/ readme.txt to where you can add a custom page slug to test if its the shop page.

Also be advised this only works when you have show categories for your shop page ?? cheers.
