Plugin didn’t work – the option to select the categories became visible in the settings section. I selected the categories I wanted to hide and saved changes but it made no difference to the visibility of the categories on the front end?

It does hide the category from my shop, but it also makes the url to the category non functional. Why would I want that? Then I might as well remove the category.

Works quite well but there is one thing I would like to add/change. It would be perfect if the said categories and products could be hidden and still be available via direct link. This option could be enabled/disabled with a checkbox.
