Removing categories from your shop

Rather than deleting products and their categories to remove them from your lists you can simply dis-enable the listing so that it’s not visible to customers on the site. It takes the category out of the navigation menu but doesn’t delete your items from your shop entirely. So you can adjust your product listings and re-instate them when you are ready to do so.

To disable the Earrings category

  1. In pages - Go to $Shop in the NOT LINKED listing

  2. Select Earrings from the list - which takes you to the list of Earrings items

  3. Click the Cog symbol

  4. In the pop-up window click the Enable Page slider - this will move the slider to Dis-enable the page. It will also dis-enable the Filter Visibility.

To re-enable the Earrings category

follow the instructions above but in step four you will need to click both the Enable Page AND Filter Visibility
