Hi Illid,

I just purchased Advanced Woo Search PRO and installed it, but I see that the version I installed is version 1.21.

I see in this support thread that you have built v1.22.

Should I be asking you for 1.22 and waiting to run the plugin? I don’t want to experience the “never ending reindex” problem. ??

Thank you.

Connie

@trolleyman – The feature you described will not help me with my products on the Uncategorized category because I have too many, and more keep getting added automatically, and I would only want them to be hidden from Uncat and not their true category, BUT… I didn’t even realize that feature existed, and I am sure that I can use it in the future for other reasons. Thank you for sharing that. It’s good to know.

@mikejolley – Update. I have used code you posted to Hide the Uncategorized category, but my question about how to stop products from being added is still open. Thank you!

/**
* Code goes in theme functions.php.
*/
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_subcategories_args’, ‘custom_woocommerce_product_subcategories_args’ );
function custom_woocommerce_product_subcategories_args( $args ) {
$args[‘exclude’] = get_option( ‘default_product_cat’ );
return $args;
}

@mikejolley. I am using WooCommerce in conjunction with Datafeedr to get product datafeeds for my Affiliate site. I have a situation where products keep getting automatically added to the Uncategorized category. I delete them and more are added. Each of these products already have a proper category to which they are assigned. I am assuming that this is not related to my Theme (which is Thesis Classic Responsive), because this seems purely related to products and not page formatting.

Any ideas? I realize that there is a way to “hide” this category, but I can’t just keep letting it build up more and more products, or does it matter? Does it hurt anything to have thousands of products in a hidden category?

If not, can you give me the CSS which would work to hide that category?

Note: I was able to rename Uncategorized to Assorted Products, so at least it doesn’t look like I just forgot to categorize products.

Thank you.

I am going to try the CSS solution, but my real problem is that WooCommerce (or WordPress?) keeps adding more and more products to that Uncategorized category. I deleted a couple hundred and got it down to zero, and then 1600 magically became added. All of those products already have a category, so the process isn’t making any sense to me. I’m not sure, but I think every time I add a new Product Set, it does see the Category I assign, and it includes the products in that category, but it also adds them to Uncategorized.

My problem is that all of my products are in proper categories, and after the update, the products magically began being added to Uncategorized. They already had a category. There are over 1400 products in this Uncategorized. I tried fixing them, by unchecking the Uncategorized category, which left them only in the correct category, but then more products magically were added to Uncategorized. Very weird, very frustrating.

Thank you Joshilham! There is another problem with Pagination, which is seeming more and more like an update issue as well. Thanks for your reply!

Hi RVSports,

I am having the same exact problem, which started at about the same time you are mentioning. I thought it was caused by something that I did (removed a specific plugin) but now I’m thinking it may have been a WooCommerce update. I see on the page link you provided that you have somehow fixed the problem with the help of a programmer. If possible and if you don’t mind, would you be able to give a quickie synopsis of what you and/or the programmer did to fix it?

I am using a different Theme, but I suspect the solution will be the same.

I have now contracted with a second programmer who is working on it (first one was unable to resolve it), if it is an issue which can be corrected easily, or resolved in the next 3.3.1 WooCommerce update, I’d like to let the current programmer know.

Thanks so much.

I am using the Thesis Classic Responsive theme, and the issue I’m seeing is that all of a sudden a mysterious “Uncategorized” category has appeared, and my products (in Product Sets) are all being magically added to it, in addition to the correct category I had assigned them to.

I went in and manually unchecked the box for the Uncategorized category for many of them, but more keep coming, so I stopped.

I am hoping that this soon to be available update will solve this problem. If not, does anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you ADUpchurce for asking the question and thank you Caleb for providing a solution. I have the same issue, which started just a few days ago. In my case, I am using WooCommerce with Datafeedr, to feed affiliate data to my wordpress site.

All of a sudden, it seems like all of my products (which are already in categories) are being magically added to a new “uncategorized” category, which I did not create. They are keeping their original category, but are being also included in Uncategorized.

Before I realized that this was an ongoing problem, and there were only 5 products listed, I went through and manually removed them from Uncategorized. I thought that was it. Then there were 171 products. Now 1400+ products.

I can’t try the fix at the moment, because I have a developer working on some other changes for me, but as soon as he is finished, I will try this fix (to update to the WooCommerce 3.3.1 pre-release).

Thanks again!

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for the code to remove pagination. Pagination works very strangely on my site, and I’d like to remove it altogether.

I am not using the WooCommerce Storefront theme, but am instead using Thesis Classic Responsive. In my case would the code read?:

remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop’, ‘thesis_woocommerce_pagination’, 30 );

I am still very new to WordPress and WooCommerce and Thesis, but am learning in leaps and bounds thanks to folks like you who are so awesome to share your knowledge.

Thanks!

Hi joe_bopper,

I am very interested in installing your plugin, but I am using WooCommerce. I am still very new to WordPress and WooCommerce, and I am using Woo with a Theme called Thesis Classic Responsive.

I don’t think that I am knowledgeable enough to make the script changes you’ve explained above, so I am wondering if you have any plans to add any kind of feature to the plugin to make it easier to set it up to search products?

Thanks so much! … Connie
