Remove SKU from WooCommerce front end

Posted

This post is more than 10 years old.

If you need to have SKUs on products in WooCommerce, but don’t want to show them on the front end, you can’t just untick an option in the WooCommerce settings: you can either have and show SKUs or not have them at all. So here’s a quick snippet that lets you have them, but remove them from the front end.

NB: PHP 5.3+ only…

/**
* remove WooCommerce SKU from front end
*/
add_action('woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', function() {
    add_filter('wc_product_sku_enabled', '__return_false');
});

Job is done really quickly and with no customised WooCommerce templates to support as new versions roll out.
