Hide specific categories from shop

Hello,

I want to hide specific categories from the shop – two at the moment. I have tried literally every code on the internet but nothing seems to be working. The only code that works is:

Simple way to hide a category from everything except the admin backend:

In functions.php:

add_filter( 'get_terms', 'hide_category', 10, 1 );
function hide_category( $terms ) {
  $new_terms = array();
  foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
    if ( $term->slug !== 'secret_category' ) {
      $new_terms[] = $term;
    } else if ( $term->taxonomy !== 'product_cat' || is_admin() ) {
      $new_terms[] = $term;
    }
  }
  return $new_terms;
}

If you want to only hide it from the shop, add || !is_shop() to the else if condition.

But this just hides one categorie, it doesn’t allow me multiple choices. I’ve read somewhere on this forum that i should disable: Theme settings-Shop->sidebar&page title->categories in page title.

Can you help?

Thank you,

Hello,

Where exactly do you want to hide these categories? Please, send us a screenshot and link so we can check.

Kind Regards

I want to hide them on shop/archive page – dropdown menu.

It would be better to hide them with CSS code by their IDs

.cat-item-335,
.cat-item-329 {
	display: none!important;
}

That did the job! The amount of time i’ve spent solving this… thank you!

You are welcome!
