Please tell me how to hide these empty categories?

Hello,

Try to add following code snippet to the functions.php file in your child theme

	function woodmart_product_categories_nav() {
		global $wp_query, $post;

		$show_subcategories = woodmart_get_opt( 'shop_categories_ancestors' );
		$show_categories_neighbors = woodmart_get_opt( 'show_categories_neighbors' );

		$list_args = array(  
			'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 
			'hide_empty' => true 
		);

		// Menu Order
		$list_args['menu_order'] = false;
		$list_args['menu_order'] = 'asc';

		// Setup Current Category
		$current_cat   = false;
		$cat_ancestors = array();

		if ( is_tax( 'product_cat' ) ) {

			$current_cat   = $wp_query->queried_object;
			$cat_ancestors = get_ancestors( $current_cat->term_id, 'product_cat' );

		}

		$list_args['depth']            = 5;
		$list_args['child_of']         = 0;
		$list_args['title_li']         = '';
		$list_args['hierarchical']     = 1;
		$list_args['show_count']       = woodmart_get_opt( 'shop_products_count' );
		$list_args['walker'] = new WOODMART_Walker_Category();

		$class = ( woodmart_get_opt( 'shop_products_count' ) ) ? 'has-product-count' : 'hasno-product-count';

		$shop_link = get_post_type_archive_link( 'product' );

		include_once( WC()->plugin_path() . '/includes/walkers/class-product-cat-list-walker.php' );
		
		if( is_object( $current_cat ) && !get_term_children( $current_cat->term_id, 'product_cat' ) && $show_subcategories && !$show_categories_neighbors ) return;
		
		echo '<div class="woodmart-show-categories"><a href="#">' . esc_html__('Categories', 'woodmart') . '</a></div>';

		echo '<ul class="woodmart-product-categories ' . esc_attr( $class ). '">';
		
		echo '<li class="cat-link shop-all-link"><div class="category-nav-link"><a href="' . esc_url( $shop_link ) . '">
				<span class="category-summary">
					<span class="category-name">' . esc_html__('All', 'woodmart') . '</span>
					<span class="category-products-count">
						<span class="cat-count-label">' . esc_html__('products', 'woodmart') . '</span>
					</span>
				</span>
		</a></div></li>';

		if( $show_subcategories ) {
			woodmart_show_category_ancestors();
		} else {
			wp_list_categories( $list_args );
		}

		echo '</ul>';
	}

Thank you, it works

You are welcome!

I have the same problem. But this doesn’t make any changes on my menu. Is another way to hide the empty categories?

Hello,

Please, send us your admin access and a screenshot where you added the code.
