About fliix Catalog Visibility Manager for Wo…
From the official readme · v2.2.3Description
fliix Catalog Visibility Manager for WooCommerce lets you control what shoppers see in your shop without deleting products or categories.
Use it for seasonal ranges, wholesale-only categories, work-in-progress catalogs, or any case where admin data should stay but the storefront should not show certain categories or products.
Visibility controls
- Hide category — remove a product category from storefront term lists and from category display on single product pages
- Hide products — exclude products in selected categories from shop loops, collections, and front-end search
- Independent toggles — per category, enable either option or both
Admin
- One hierarchical category tree under WooCommerce → Settings → Products
- Search by name, slug, or parent path
- Parent path labels for duplicate category names
- Filter to show only hidden categories
- Quick toggles on Products → Categories
Compatibility
- WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables)
- Storefront theme product shortcodes
- WooCommerce Product Add-ons
- Does not force title-only product search
Third-party extension
This is an independent plugin for the WooCommerce platform. It is not an official WooCommerce or Automattic product.
