Remove link to product categories of thumbnails

[pinponketo]

I would like to remove the link to the product categories that is displayed after the title of each product in the thumbnail on the archive pages.

Please see attachment.

For SEO reasons the link should not appear on the code. Therefore hidding it with CSS is not recommended.

Could you please assist me?

thanks

Alonso

Hi

What’s the seo issue with having categories listed?

Hi Kyle,

The SEO issue would be to hide links with CSS. Since they will still be visible to the search engine crawler but not for the users.

Yes, but why is having the category bad for SEO? It’s usually seen as good

Having a category is not bad for SEO. I want to remove the category link to fit my design. But again, I don’t want to hide it with CSS.

cheers

You will need to edit atelier/woocommerce/content-product.php and remove

<?php
						$size = sizeof( get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' ) );
						echo $product->get_categories( ', ', '<h5 class="posted_in">', '</h5>' );
					?>

From line 319
