    Hi all,

    I’ve been looking forward to exlude categories and subcategories from the category widget of this nice plugin woocommerce.
    I’ve found a function witch works good in the root shop page but not further in the categories

    function exclude_widget_categories($args){
    $exclude = "44,48,49,50"; // The IDs of the excluding categories separated by commas.
    $args["exclude"] = $exclude;
    return $args;
}
add_filter("woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args","exclude_widget_categories");

    SO I tried the functions founded to exclude cats in the shop , witch works in the shop but the dropdown menu from the cat widget keeps giving me those cats I need to hide each time I’m going to see in the depts cats.
    main shop page : widget is ok
    all other archive cat page or single product page : widget is still giving me those cats I need to exclude.

    Does anyone has something to help ?
    thanks
    regards

    So, I tried to create a
    Custom_WC_Widget_Product_Categories
    and copy the content of the woocommerce core WC_Widget_Product_Categories php file.

    Adding an “exclude” in args array

    but can’t load it in wP, White screen and no errors displayed helping for that.
    So I add a function

    function check_woocat_widgets() {
	if(function_exists('is_woocommerce_active'))
	  unregister_widget('woocommerce_product_categories');
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'check_woocat_widgets', 1);

    But doesn’t work either !!!

    any help would be appreciated.
    regards
