Hello
I also am having a problem with the hidden setting.
I’ve found that although the Timer column on the ‘All Products’ screen indicates hidden, in the Product edit screen the Catalog visibility is still “Shop and search results”.
This produces a number of problems with display on the front end.
1. My Shop catalogue is saying eg “Showing all 10 results” while displaying 9, because 1 is “Hidden” according to Timer while actually “Shop and search results”
2. Woocommerce Products by Category block still displays the supposedly hidden events
3. The following Woocommerce shortcode in block and widget hides the “Hidden” (according to Timer) events, but they are still counted in the limit because they are actually “Shop and search results”. As there are 2 expired products in these categories, only 3 products are displayed.
[products columns=1 limit=5 orderby="menu_order" order="ASC" category="66,67" visibility="visible"]
Therefore I consider this an urgent issue that needs resolving.
Thanks
Clare
