Some store owners like to keep their product pages as clutter-free as possible. They want to remove all the unnecessary stuff and keep the focus of the page about the particular product.
On the WooCommerce single product page, you will find 3 (or more) related products. In this tutorial, we will show you how to remove these related products using a simple code.
PHP Snippet: Hide Related Products @ WooCommerce Single Product Page
You can place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file (delete "?>" if you have it there). CSS, on the other hand, goes in your child theme style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my free video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"
Does this snippet (still) work?
Please let me know in the comments if everything worked as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting on PHP 7.3.

Hi, PHP Snippet: Hide Related Products @ WooCommerce Single Product Page doesn’t work anymore, I don’t understand why. May be because of the theme (I use a child theme, child of AVADA).

I found a way to remove the related products when using the Avada Theme:
Add this code snippet here to your functions.php
https://gist.github.com/tripflex/c6518efc1753cf2392559866b4bd1a53
And then add this also to your functions.php:
function avada_lang_setup() { remove_class_action('woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'Avada_Woocommerce', 'output_related_products', 15); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'avada_lang_setup' );Cool, thank you!

Yes, it could be because of your custom theme. It would need to be edited to make it work
