Часто задаваемые вопросы
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
-
Yes, WooCommerce must be installed and active for this plugin to work.
-
No, absolutely not. The plugin never deletes any product data. It simply filters products from frontend queries. All your product data, images, prices, and settings remain completely intact. Uncheck a product or category at any time to restore its visibility immediately.
-
Hidden products are excluded from the shop page, category pages, product tag pages, and WooCommerce search results. Note: if a customer has a direct URL to a hidden product page, they may still be able to access it directly.
-
Can I hide a single product without hiding its entire category?
-
Yes. Use the AJAX live search field to find and select individual products. They will appear as visual «chips» and can be removed at any time.
-
Does this work with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
-
Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce HPOS.
-
Does the category tree show subcategories too?
-
Yes. The category tree is recursive and displays your full category hierarchy with proper indentation, making it easy to hide parent or child categories independently.
-
Will this slow down my store?
-
No. The plugin only adds lightweight query filters on the frontend. It has no impact on page load speed for customers.
-
The plugin is completely free and open source. For custom development or support, visit vgdevsolutions.gr.
