September 2022 I can see there are 2 people they told the plugin isn't working. But they are wrong. It's working properly. If you want to work with this plugin then you have to go to woocommerce >> setting >> product >> Hide Categories On Shop Page and then in this box first type eg : (prnt.sc/Y-vk69VlUXkD) then copy your category slug and pest in the box. Save changes and clear your site cache. And your age good to go. A very good plugin for removing categories on a single product page. Hope the above instruction will help new users.
