Removing "There are no products to list in this category" from cateogry page

[techiegirl]

I think that if I remove it from index.php it will remove the statement for any category that does not contain any products.

I want to remove the statement from ONE particular category ONLY.

Open /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php

and find There are no products to list in this category

delete that string but make sure to leave the single quotes untouched

so change this

define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', 'There are no products to list in this category.');

to this

define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', '');

That's correct

Considering you only have one empty category to deal with that solution should work just fine.

To me it makes no sense to have empty categories at all. If they are empty they can be disabled via admin until they are needed.

It's like a B&M shop with empty departments - nothing to buy or to browse so why make them accessible to the public?

Thanks for the help. I guess I may have been overcomplicating what I was trying to accomplish.

Removing it from the index.php file did the job.
