Where should I put these codes

You have two places to put these codes:

  1. If you have created a child theme, you can add it to the end of the functions.php file.
  2. If you prefer to have more control, create a specialized plugin to add these and other customizations.

How should I use them

Simply copy and paste the code(s) you want to use and add them according to your favorite method (see above).

In the case of multiple codes, which hide several elements of WooCommerce, delete or comment (add // in front) the lines you do not want to apply. For example, this will hide the “Marketing” menu:

remove_menu_page('wc-admin&path=/marketing');Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

However, this will not hide it:

//remove_menu_page('wc-admin&path=/marketing');Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)

  1. Hi there, if this post is still being monitored, when I try to use:

    remove_submenu_page(‘woocommerce’, ‘wc-admin’);

    It actually disables some other features, like “Customers”.

    Is there a way to hide the “WooCommerce -> Home” submenu without disabling other wc-admin paths?
