## Remove Product Meta ‘Categories’ in a Product Page – WooCommerce

* CodeGear
* October 13, 2018

By default, WooCommerce product categories are displayed at the bottom of a product page just under the add to cart button.

You can remove these from the layout by removing the woocommerce\_template\_single\_meta action from the product summary, in your themes functions.php

**STEPS TO REMOVE PRODUCT META CATEGORIES**

1. Open Wordpress admin panel, go to **Appearance > Editor**&#x20;
2. Open **function.php** theme file
3. Add the following code at the bottom of function.php file
4. Save the changes
5. Refresh the product page, now the description heading is gone.

```

remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40 );
```
