Re: Blocking a Category from showing in 'New Poducts' boxes

The most straightforward way would be to create override files for the following:

  • includes/modules/new_products.php and
  • inlcudes/modules/sideboxes/whats_new.php
    and then edit the database queries in the them to exclude the categories that you don't wish to include.
