How to hide SKU, Category, Sub-category, tag from product page in Woocommerce

By default, product page in Woocommerce will shows all product meta information, including SKU, Category, Sub-category, tag as you can see in the picture below.

This tutorial will guide you how to hide SKU, Category, Sub-category, tag from product page in Woocommerce with just a single line of code.

• If you are a developer, it’s easy to explain that we will remove whole product meta block from the product page
• If you are not a dev, then you can just put the code lines in this tutorial inside your theme’s function.php file. All you need is a software to edit files on your website’s server

We will use the 2 function to remove and add block in woocommerce product page:

• remove_action()  to remove block from product page
• add_action()  to add block to product page

Hide all meta information from product page in Woocommerce

Find your theme’s function.php file and put the following code snipet before “?>” (closing tag of php)

/**
 * @snippet       Hide SKU, Category, Tags at Product Page in WooCommerce
 * @author        wooexplorer.com
 */
   
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40 );

This code snipet will hide all meta information including SKU, Category, Sub-category, tag from product

Now the product page will look like this:

Remove all meta information but keep “SKU” in product page

What if you want to hide all meta information but keeping SKU?

We will use add_action to readd SKU to product page

/**
 * @snippet       Show SKU
 * @author        wooexplorer.com
 */
 
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'wooexplorer_show_sku_again_single_product', 40 );
 
function wooexplorer_show_sku_again_single_product() {
   global $product;
   ?>
   <div class="product_meta">
   <?php if ( wc_product_sku_enabled() && ( $product->get_sku() || $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) ) : ?>
      <span class="sku_wrapper"><?php esc_html_e( 'SKU:', 'woocommerce' ); ?> <span class="sku"><?php echo ( $sku = $product->get_sku() ) ? $sku : esc_html__( 'N/A', 'woocommerce' ); ?></span></span>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
   <?php
}

Now your product page will look like this
