Disable zoom on specific category pages

Hello,

you can add this PHP snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file to remove the zoom on the product pages for products in the “cat1” or “cat2” categories:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','remove_zoom_on_some_categories', 100);
function remove_zoom_on_some_categories(){
    if ( !function_exists('is_product') ) return;
    if ( is_product() && has_term(array('cat1', 'cat2'), 'product_cat')) {
	wp_dequeue_script('image_zoom-frontend');
    }
}

The PHP snippet will work only with product categories and not with the category parents. For example, if “cat1” category is child to the “cat-parent” category, then using the “cat-parent” in the script will not match the products from the “cat1” category.

If you don’t feel comfortable adding the PHP snippet to the child theme’s functions.php file, then you can use a plugin similar to Code Snippets. The result will be the same.
