Remove repetitions of text from categories

Dear Goostaf,

We hope this message finds you well.

We kindly request that you insert the following snippet of code into the functions.php file located within your child theme directory:

remove_action('woocommerce_before_subcategory', 'woocommerce_template_loop_category_link_open', 10);

We trust that this addition will serve the intended purpose effectively. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best Regards,
The 8Theme Team

Hi @Goostaf,

Please create a PHP file under xstore-child/woocommerce/content-product-cat.php with the following code:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying product category thumbnails within loops
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/content-product_cat.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you (the theme developer).
 * will need to copy the new files to your theme to maintain compatibility. We try to do this.
 * as little as possible, but it does happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will.
 * be bumped and the readme will list any important changes.
 *
 * @see 	    http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/
 * @author 		WooThemes
 * @package 	WooCommerce/Templates
 * @version     4.7.0

Hope it helps!

Hi @Goostaf,

In this case, please delete the xstore-child/woocommerce/content-product-cat.php file.

After that add the following code under functions.php file locates in your child theme:

function woocommerce_template_loop_category_link_open( $category ) {
	$category_term = get_term( $category, 'product_cat' );
	$category_name = ( ! $category_term || is_wp_error( $category_term ) ) ? '' : $category_term->name;
	/* translators: %s: Category name */
	echo '<a href="' . esc_url( get_term_link( $category, 'product_cat' ) ) . '">';
}

Let us know how it goes!
