    Hi
    Seems there is a bug in “Catalog Mode”.
    In my case this option was turned on since the beginning but still Google was able to somehow index products with the prices (see screenshot #1&2 in prv). Those are not old prices but the current one.
    Further, when guest add some products to whishlist, prices are visible on side off-canvas bar (see #3 in prv)
    Settings are set as on screenshot #4

    This is very critical as this site is a B2B platform and therefore disabling prices for guest users must be permanent and secure.

    EDIT:
    for now I did hide some things via css:
    /* ukryj stock dla gosci */
    .stock,
    .stock.in-stock,
    .stock.out-of-stock,
    .ajax-results-wrapper .content-product .price
    { display: none;
    content: none;
    }

    /*ukryj dodaj do schowka dla gosci */
    .single-wishlist a,
    .single-compare a,
    .et_b_header-wishlist
    { display: none;
    content: none;
    }

    e.g wishlist buttons etc. but this does not solve google issue

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello, Krzysztof,

    Thank you for choosing XStore as your WooCommerce WordPress theme.

    1/ Please download xstore-wishlist.php by the next link https://we.tl/t-KJcrV6NXqA and re-upload it into et-core-plugin/packages/xstore-wishlist folder via FTP. Clear cache and check the Wishlist then.

    2/ About prices in Google results, try to reindex your pages.
    Please check if maybe you have manually added any products that you are advertising and indicated the price. Try to consult with your SEO specialist or the person who provides you with Google advice.
    From what we can see in our code, prices should not be shown.

    We hope this information is helpful.

    Kind Regards,
    8theme team

    Thank you for your great support … as always 🙂

    1/ … new xstore-wishlist.php works great 🙂 .. thank you

    2/ … I did further investigation and seems Yoast SEO is the one who provide meta data (including price) even if xstore is in Catalog Mode. I found workaround by using other plugin which allows to create different prices per WP role .. so I configured 0PLN for all guest users. For now it solves my issue but this is not ideal solution. Would be great if you could rethink how Catalog Mode works 🙂
