Hello magento friends todays in this blog post im share with you to How to Disable Empty Category Programmatically using Root Script in Magento 2.
To disable empty categories programmatically using a root script in Magento 2, you can follow these steps:
➤ Create a PHP script file: Create a new PHP file in the Magento root directory, or any directory within your Magento installation. For example, you can name it disable_empty_categories.php.
➤ Set up the Magento environment: At the beginning of the script, initialize the Magento environment to access the necessary classes and functions. This includes bootstrapping the Magento application and loading the necessary dependencies.
➤ Disable Empty Categories: Now, you can write the logic to identify empty categories and disable them.
➤ Run the Script: Once you've created the script, you can run it through the command line to disable empty categories in Magento 2. Make sure you have appropriate permissions to execute the script.
Before running the script, take a backup of your database, as this operation will disable the empty categories directly in the database.
That's it! When you run this script, it will loop through all the categories, check if they are empty, and if so, it will disable them. The script will output messages indicating which categories have been disabled.
Remember to use this script responsibly and always have a backup of your database before making changes programmatically. Additionally, consider testing it on a staging environment first to ensure it behaves as expected.
