Here’s how to remove those annoying “yellow” product category counters in the WooCommerce shop / category / loop pages. You will find several versions of this snippet all over the internet…. but in case you haven’t found it yet, here’s the simple one-liner PHP code you need to add to your functions.php file.
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

Deanna, 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.
Hi there!
Your snippet worked great. Since I don’t know much about child themes and was scared to mess up the code, I downloaded a snippet plugin, and inserted your snippet into it then let the plugin do the rest. It works beautifully. Thanks so much for the help. Your videos are awesome as well.

If you are writing code, please wrap it like so: [php]code_here[/php]. Failure to complying with this, as well as going off topic or not using the English language will result in comment disapproval. You should expect a reply in about 2 weeks - this is a popular blog but I need to get paid work done first. Please consider joining the Business Bloomer Club to get quick WooCommerce support. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I have a weird situation where the counter is gone from all of the categories except the first one.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you so much – was going mad trying to sort that but the code and the tip from a previous poster about the snippet plugin and it worked a treat.
Excellent 🙂

Wow what a helpful Blog, Please may I ask where do we insert the code for all of your snippets?
