"Choose what to display on the main shop page." Select Show categories as seen in the Screenshot below.
Additional Information
For users who has a different/custom page for their shop you can edit the wc-hide-categories.php file Find line # 127 and remove //
//$mwd_opt4 = in_array( 'product_cat', $taxonomies ) && ! is_admin() && is_page('YOUR_PAGE_SLUG'),
Then find line #129 /*|| $mwd_opt4*/
Change to || $mwd_opt4
To remove products from those categories find line 160
// Uncomment the function below if you also want those products hidden
/*
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'mwd_hwcosp_remove_product_in_cat' );
function mwd_hwcosp_remove_product_in_cat( $q ) {
//hwcosp_global is the databse row entry
$opt_terms = get_option('hwcosp_global');
// Processes our users data to the way we want it from above
$data = mwd_hwcosp_comma_separated_to_array($opt_terms);
$tax_query = (array) $q->get('tax_query');
$tax_query[] = array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $data, // Set Category Slug which products not show on the shop and Archieve page.
'operator' => 'NOT IN'
