[Resolved] How to Disable or Remove Woocommerce Categories displayed on Single Product Page

[bluebit]

How can I disable, hide, or remove the categories being shown from the Single Product Page. I only want to show the tags.

I tried this snippet, but it removed everything including the tags:

/* Remove Categories from Single Products */
remove_action( ‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_template_single_meta’, 40 );

Hi there,

Can you try the option in the customizer first?

Let me know 🙂

yes, i just tried it, but if I uncheck the option “display product meta data” it removes all the metadata, but I want to keep the tags meta data, only remove categories meta data

[Leo]

I see. Try this CSS:

.product_meta .posted_in {
    display: none;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Let me know 🙂

that worked, but left some white space, how to reduce the white space above the tags?

[Leo]

Try this:

.product_meta {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

Let me know 🙂

amazing it worked thanks

[Leo]

No problem 🙂

do you have any filter so I can remove categories completely? It is for SEO purpose (not hiding by CSS display none)

Hi there,

Woo doesn’t filter the Single Meta – you would need to make a copy of this template in your child theme:

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/7701d4b57cb20dc89e25bb7bf2ff872d85f4c535/templates/single-product/meta.php#L34

And remove the line i highlighted.
