Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/stevekinzey/hide-product-category-archives/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Adds a per-product-category checkbox in WooCommerce that redirects visitors away from that product category archive to the Shop page, while keeping products visible via other categories, search, and facets.
Features
- Checkbox on Products → Categories (add/edit)
- “Hidden archive” column on category list with one-click toggle
- 301 redirect for hidden product category archives
- Safe with FacetWP + Elementor (does not alter product visibility)
- Uninstall cleanup included
Usage
- Activate the plugin
- Go to Products → Categories
- Edit a category
- Check “Hide category archive (redirect to Shop)”
- Save
Notes
- Redirect target is the WooCommerce Shop page.
- This does not remove products from the catalog.
- If a category is hidden, its archive URL redirects, including paginated archives.
