Removing Duplicate Products from Menu

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello!

    How do I remove products from a particular menu. I currently use WordPress, and I have some products that I switched over to a different menu. It worked and all is good. However, it looks like I may have created duplicate products because Product A (that I moved to Skin Care) is also in link “Personal Hygiene”. This tells me that I created duplicate copies. I’m trying to remove duplicate images from a particular link (Personal Hygiene – which isn’t supposed to have any products) but I can’t seem to figure it out.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    It looks like Personal Hygiene is the Parent Category of Bar Soaps and Skin Care, so when you click on Personal Hygiene, it will show all categories that it is parent to.

    The way I’m understanding: You want Personal Hygiene to show up in the menu, but not be a link that shows all of these products in the Bar Soaps and Skin Care categories?

    You haven’t created duplicate copies of your products, they’re just being loaded in both their category and parent category.

    Site looks great btw!

    Yeah! I want Personal Hygiene to show up in the menu, but not be a link that shows all of these products in the Bar Soaps and Skin Care categories.

    How would I do that?

    The best way I’ve found to do this without custom code is to add a Custom Link, and use # as the URL. Then nest your subcategories underneath it. You can use the Customizer to edit your menu.

    The official support docs for editing your menu: https://wordpress.com/support/menus/add-links-to-a-menu/

    Honestly, there may be a better, more official way of doing this, and a Happiness Engineer here may be able to chime in. But this method does work.

    If the menu editing gets confusing, let me know and I can try to help you through that.
