You can also hide the buttons from logged-out visitors, switch the wishlist off store-wide, or, with Pro, hide it only on products with chosen tags. ## Can WooCommerce hide the wishlist without a plugin? WooCommerce core does not include a wishlist, so it has no setting that adds or removes a wishlist button. Any wishlist button on your store comes from a plugin or your theme, and it is hidden from that tool's own settings. For Wishlist, use the options below. ## How to hide or remove the wishlist button in WooCommerce ### The two wishlist buttons Wishlist has two buttons, each with its own settings on the **Buttons** tab: - **Default button**: a button with text and an icon. It is off by default on both single product pages and shop (loop) pages. - **Thumb button**: an icon over the product image. It is on by default on both single product pages and shop (loop) pages. To hide a button everywhere, untick every placement of that button. To hide it on one kind of page only, untick just that placement. These placement options are free. ### Hide the wishlist button on specific products by tag (Pro) 1. Go to **WPFactory > Wishlist** and open the **Buttons** tab. 2. In the **Default button** section, choose one or more product tags in **Hide by tag**. 3. In the **Thumb button** section, choose the same tags in its own **Hide by tag** field, so both buttons are hidden. 4. Click **Save changes**. ![Hide by tag field in the Default button section of the Wishlist Buttons tab, with a product tag selected](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/pasted-image-0-1-1.png) Wishlist then hides the button on every product that has any of the selected tags. To hide it on another product later, add one of those tags to that product. ### Hide the wishlist from logged-out visitors (Free) In the **Interaction with unlogged Users** section of the **Buttons** tab, untick **Visibility** so visitors who are not logged in no longer see the buttons. ### Remove the wishlist from your whole store (Free) On the **General** tab, untick **Wishlist for WooCommerce** and save. This switches the wishlist off everywhere. To remove it permanently, deactivate the plugin under **Plugins**. ### Options reference | Setting | Option ID | Default | Version | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Default button: Single product page | `alg_wc_wl_dbtn_single_enable` | No | Free | | Default button: Loop | `alg_wc_wl_dbtn_loop_enable` | No | Free | | Default button: Hide by tag | `alg_wc_wl_dbtn_hide_by_tag` | None | Pro | | Thumb button: Product page | `alg_wc_wl_tbtn_single_enable` | Yes | Free | | Thumb button: Product loop | `alg_wc_wl_tbtn_loop_enable` | Yes | Free | | Thumb button: Hide by tag | `alg_wc_wl_tbtn_hide_by_tag` | None | Pro | | Visibility (unlogged users) | `alg_wc_wl_unlogged_can_see_buttons` | Yes | Free | | Wishlist for WooCommerce (General tab) | `alg_wc_wl_enabled` | Yes | Free | ### Use cases - Hide the wishlist button on gift cards, samples or services by giving them a shared tag. - Show the wishlist only to logged-in customers. - Keep the wishlist on product pages but remove the icons from busy shop pages. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I remove the wishlist button from shop pages but keep it on product pages?
