Hi – I am building a site for a client that has seasonal categories such as Christmas. I would like to have this category now display at certain times of the year. I removed it from my menus but it shows under Product Categories on my homepage and under categories on my product pages.

Any way to hide a category, or turn off and back on that work with this theme?

Thanks!

Hello,

Try to add this code in functions.php file:
```
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );
function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q )
{

if (!$q->is_main_query() || !is_shop()) return;
if ( ! is_admin() )
{
$q->set( 'tax_query', array(array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => array( 57 ),
'operator' => 'NOT IN'
)));

}
}
```
where 57 is a category id, replace it with your id.

Eva Kemp.

Hello,

I’ve added this code in child style.css:
```
.cat-item.cat-item-110 {
    display: none;
}
```
and “Thanksgiving” category is hidden in sidebar in Shop page.
As for home page, I recommend you to use Woo Product Categories element in Visual Composer editor and select what categories to display.
Please try it.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

Thanks, I will try that. I just noticed something else broken, not sure if it is related to any of the fixes. For some reason now the dropdown menu doesn’t work. When I hover over Occasions or any of the others on the main menu nothing happens. Can you check this out as soon as possible please as I would like to launch tomorrow?

Thanks
