You can remove the products by adding the following code to your functions.php file:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'arrow_design_remove_categories_shop' );
function arrow_design_remove_categories_shop( $q ) {
if ( ! $q->is_main_query() ) return;
if ( ! $q->is_post_type_archive() ) return;
if ( ! is_admin() && is_shop() && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
$q->set( 'tax_query', array(array('taxonomy' => 'product_cat','field' => 'slug',
// Don’t display products in these categories on the shop page
//'terms' => array( 'remove' ),
'terms' => 'remove',
'operator' => 'NOT IN')));
}
remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'arrow_design_remove_categories_shop' );
