WooCommerce - Show all subcategories in product category / archive pages - even when empty

wc-template-functions.php

$args = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_product_subcategories_args', array(
			'parent'		=> $parent_id,
			'menu_order'	=> 'ASC',
			'hide_empty'	=> 0,
			'hierarchical'	=> 1,
			'taxonomy'		=> 'product_cat',
			'pad_counts'	=> 1
		) );
		
// Update: Use this in your functions.php:
add_filter('woocommerce_product_subcategories_args', 'woocommerce_show_empty_categories');
function woocommerce_show_empty_categories($args){
    $args['hide_empty']=0;
    return $args;
}

By default, "hide_empty" was set to 1, preventing empty sub/child categories to be displayed. I needed a fully click through catalog (click from parent to > sub > sub > sub even when empty) and therefore had to set this setting to 0. Not best practice to do this in core files, may want to find a better way to override it.

D'oh! :-) Just use this in your funcions.php:

add_filter('woocommerce_product_subcategories_args', 'woocommerce_show_empty_categories');
function woocommerce_show_empty_categories($args){
$args['hide_empty']=0;
return $args;
}

Hi!
Is it possible to HIDE a specific category or subcategory from the whole shop using woocommerce_product_subcategories_args?
