If you want to completely remove or hide a category for a specific language (e.g. English) from your webshop, you can delete the desired language version. The German version of the category remains completely unaffected.

Deleting a language version of the category

This method deletes the English name as well as the URL for this language. As a result, the category disappears from the webshop and the main navigation in this language version.

1. Open Items » Categories in your PlentyONE system.

2. Select the appropriate client and the language English from the dropdown list at the top of the toolbar (above the category tree).

3. Click on the category you want to deactivate for English in the left directory tree.

4. Click the Delete icon at the top right of the category toolbar.

5. Confirm in the security window that you want to only delete the language for the client (not the entire category).

Note: In the left category tree, the category name will now be displayed in italics when you have selected the English view. This indicates that this category no longer exists in this language.

Alternative if you use a separate client for this language: 

Deactivate visibility for the client

If you do not want to irrevocably delete the English texts or settings, you can instead restrict the visibility:

1. Go to Items » Categories and click on the desired category.

2. In the Settings tab, scroll to the Client (Shop) section.

3. If you use a separate client (subshop) for your English language version, remove the checkmark for this client.

4. If you use the same client for DE and EN, you usually control visibility in the plentyShop LTS via the item list: If no items for the English market are active in this category, it will automatically be hidden in the English frontend.

Important note about the cache

After deleting or changing the visibility, it may take a few minutes for the change to become visible in the webshop. If you use the ShopBooster, reload the cache briefly in the menu (invalidating) to check the result immediately in the frontend.
