Hid specific categories on the product category widget on the shop and category pages with a code snippet, and some CSS.

//remove from shop pages
//* Used when the widget is displayed as a dropdown
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'woo_product_cat_widget_args' );
//* Used when the widget is displayed as a list
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args', 'woo_product_cat_widget_args' );
function woo_product_cat_widget_args( $cat_args ) {
                $cat_args['exclude'] = array('365');
                return $cat_args;
}

My theme ignores the code snippet above on the category & blog pages. This is the fast solution.
`div ul.product-categories li.cat-item.cat-item-365 {
display:none;
}`

I could not find a code snippet to work on the shop or the category pages. For better or worse I had to install the “Booster for WooCommerce” plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-jetpack/). I’m not opposed to this plugin, but I think it adds bulk to my shop that I may not necessarily need. *shrug* That said it was the only thing I found that allowed me to hide specific categories on the shop and category pages.

Hope this helps someone.. *shrug*

Marking this resolved.

@madeincosmos THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! That did the trick!!!!!! I would hope that WooCommerce would AT LEAST add an admin option to allow shop owners to decide if they want to display the brands info on the front-end.

@lorro I actually have not managed to do this (override the plugin with a code snippet). ??

What I did manage to do is to directly edit the plugin files to modify the target CSS class so I could hide the CSS and give my client what he wanted immediately. However, this is exactly what I do not want as a long term solution. I still need to know how to override this plugin’s function using a code snippet.

As I stated WooCommerce refuses to offer any assistance with modifying their plugin (https://woocommerce.com/products/brands/?aff=10486&cid=1131038) with what REALLY IS a minor modification.

I hope you have a potential solution to share. ??

I accidentally posted this twice.. Hoping the admins can remove this post as it’s a duplicate of “https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/help-modifying-woocommerce-brands-plugin-to-hide-brands-on-product-pages-2/”

It’s working because I am now using a different slider.. Could not get yours to work.. It literally just STOPPED displaying any featured products results.

Still broken… No response from the plugin author(s).. Had to move on.. Installed this plugin instead: Product Slider and Carousel with Category for WooCommerce. That plugin works, and plugin author is RESPONSIVE..*shrug*

That did it!!! Thanks!!! It wasn’t clear I had to use the “limit” attribute for my shortcode, but that did the trick!

And I’m going to AGAIN echo the same sentiment. It seems that this plugin stopped working HALF of my CSS snippets do not work. If I add CSS to an EXISTING CSS snippet then it works. NEW CSS snippets do not work. All since the latest WP update.

I tried to add some new CSS snippets tonight and they do not execute after they are activated. Interestingly if I add the CSS to an existing snippet it works, but I cannot create new snippets. Seems this plugin broke after 5.2.1 update.. ??

Nevermind.. User error.. ??

I have the very same question. This question is over 4 weeks old. Is there an answer??

@serafinnyc I write tech docs as part of my regular day gig (for dev teams across the globe) It happens.. *shrug* sometimes when you think you’re being clear, you find out you’re not.. ??

@serafinnyc NP. I thought I was clear in my OP, clearly not… *lol*

Appreciate the help! The snippet worked a treat!!!

YEAH!!!

Thanks again for the help!!!! ??

And yeah the “stupid woocommerce” was funny AF!!! ??

@serafinnyc As the post title indicates, I want to:
Change “Clear” text for the reset variations link to read “Clear Options”

I can make this change to the WooCoomerce core file (line 46 of wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product/add-to-cart/variable.php), but know this change would only be wiped out at the next WooCommerce update. Would like some help with the code snippet I would need to add this to my theme’s function.php file (I presume this is where such an override would go)
