hide_empty_categories

This module automatically hides categories that contain no products from your storefront, keeping your navigation clean and preventing customers from landing on empty category pages. When products are added back to a category, visibility is restored — either by clicking a search button in the module's back-office panel or by running a scheduled CRON task.

• Filters each category and its subcategories to check for the presence of products before showing them to visitors
• Restores category visibility automatically once a product is added to that category
• Supports both manual triggering via the back-office and automated scheduling via CRON
• Non-destructive: does not delete categories or modify any files — it only toggles category visibility in the database
• Available in English and Polish (two language versions included)

This module is well suited for store owners who manage large catalogs with seasonal or rotating product ranges, where categories may regularly become empty. It is a safe, lightweight solution that requires no design knowledge and leaves your store's data and files untouched.
