Didn't hide the category on the product page.
Very helpful

The disabled category will go to a 404 page, so you will have to handle redirections with another plugin.
Works very well

Awesome Plugin That Worked

Absolutely an awesome plugin that worked to hide categories from product pages and even from the code. I would suggest to add the feature to hide brands also from products.
Keep on updating and testing the plugin on the major versions of Woocommerce!!
