WooCommerce: Hide “No products were found matching your selection”
When your WooCommerce store has no published products the shop page will not display anything. A message “No products were found matching your selection” will show instead. The same applies to empty categories or when you decide to completely hide the shop page products for some reason, especially for custom built layouts.
So, how do we hide this notice? Thankfully, and once again, one line of PHP is sufficient to achieve the result! Enjoy 🙂
Hiding the “No products were found matching your selection” on the Shop / Category pages
PHP Snippet: Hide “No products were found matching your selection” @ WooCommerce Shop Page and/or Category Pages

remove_action( 'woocommerce_no_products_found', 'wc_no_products_found' );
This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

WooCommerce: Disable Variable Product Price Range $$$-$$$ You may want to disable the WooCommerce variable product price range which usually looks like $100-$999 when variations have different prices (min $100 and max $999 in this case).

WooCommerce: Add Second Description @ Product Category Pages In terms of SEO, if you’re trying to rank your product category pages, you really need to make the most of the default WooCommerce product category “description” and “thumbnail”.

WooCommerce: Hide Prices on the Shop & Category Pages Interesting WooCommerce customization here. A client of mine asked me to hide/remove prices from the shop page and category pages as she wanted to drive more customers to the single product pages (i.e. increasing the click-through rate).

First of all thank you for the free tips !
Unfortunately that does not work for my website.
For information:
– Wordress Version: 6.0.2
– Theme used: Foodica Lite
Is there by any chance a new code for this topic ?
Thank you! The code works.
But I would like to clarify – What kind of code should be in order to remove “No products were found matching your selection” only from the main page of the store?
Rsingga, thanks for your comment! I just tested this again with Storefront theme and it works perfectly. Maybe your theme (or another plugin) is messing/conflicting with my snippet?
To troubleshoot, disable all plugins but WooCommerce and also switch temporarily to “Twentyseventeen” theme (load the snippet there in functions.php) – does it work? If yes, you have a problem with your current theme or one of the plugins.
I’m using wordpress 5.1.1 with the latest version of woocommerce but this is not working for me. I added it to a snipets plugin and its activated. Is it working for you on the latest version?
thanks

Thanks for your message Henri! Code works for me – please try with a different theme and no plugins active (but WooCommerce) and see if it works?
Made my Day, thanks a lot!
Cool

I suggest you take a look at “conditional logic”: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-conditional-logic-ultimate-php-guide/. Enjoy 🙂
