Removes an array of product categories from the WooCommerce Product Category Widget.

remove-category-wc-category-widget.php

<?php // Mind this opening php tag

/**
 * Remove Categories from WooCommerce Product Category Widget
 *
 * @author   Ren Ventura
 */
 
//* Used when the widget is displayed as a dropdown
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories' );
//* Used when the widget is displayed as a list
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args', 'rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories' );
function rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories( $cat_args ) {
	$cat_args['exclude'] = array('55','68'); // Insert the product category IDs you wish to exclude
	return $cat_args;
}

This filter perfectly works .... Thanks Man :) 👍

The code only seems to work for the shop page, and not the category pages. Tested With WooCommerce Version: 3.6.5

@princebhalani143 It seems to be working for me just fine, including on the category pages (also running WC 3.6.5). Can you provide steps for reproducing this?

@renventura: Thanks for looking into this, I've tried on local host with basic WooCommerce + WordPress + Default theme and it's working smoothly. It's conflict from the Salient theme widget plugin.
