Hidden Products showing in Shop due to Pagination

[HB]

Hi Guys,

We’ve added some PHP to hide certain shop categories ‘Mixed-Cases’ & ‘Howlers’.

They are hidden on the Shop page but when you use the links to go to the next page they appear again.

We think it is an issue with AJAX on the Shop.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi

If you’re using numbered pagination instead of load more, then it will not be an AJAX issue. Please look over your code as there must be a flaw.

Hi Kyle,

Is load more an option we can use with the theme?

Thanks,

Hi,

You can use load more only in the blog.

The only error I found in the javascript console was a not found 404 error in this image

Double check what exactly that php code is doing.

Hi Rui,

The PHP snippet below is removing 2 categories from showing on the shop but when you use pagination it’s not removing the categories.

Cheers,
Tim

<?php>
​
/* Remove categories from shop page
==================================================
*/
​
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_pre_get_posts_query’ );
​
function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q ) {
​
if ( ! $q->is_main_query() ) return;
if ( ! $q->is_post_type_archive() ) return;

if ( ! is_admin() && is_shop() ) {
​
$q->set( ‘tax_query’, array(array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => array( ‘howlers’, ‘mixed-case’ ), // Don’t display products in these categories on the shop page
‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’
)));

}
​
remove_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_pre_get_posts_query’ );
​
}

hhhum when you move to page 2, 3, etc you are not anymore in the shop page but in an archive page.

Try to replace this line

if ( ! is_admin() && is_shop() ) {

with this one

if ( ! is_admin() && ( is_shop() || is_archive() ) ) {

Let me know if it worked.

Could you add some FTP details?

It looks like you are also removing the action you add also, will need to see your code a little more.

Thanks.

Hi,

Why not just do it with CSS?

Ex, to exclude the product category NZ Craft Beer Collective:

.post-type-archive li.product-cat-nzcbc {
    display: none;
}

Thanks.
