Hide products from subcategories in categories woocommerce wordpress

when I enter a category it shows me all the subcategories and the products in the subcategories. I want to show only the subcategories and hide the products of these.

I have used this code but it does not show me the subcategories if there is no product added from the main category.

function exclude_product_cat_children($wp_query) {
if ( isset ( $wp_query->query_vars['product_cat'] ) && $wp_query->is_main_query()) {
    $wp_query->set('tax_query', array( 
                                    array (
                                        'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                                        'field' => 'slug',
                                        'terms' => $wp_query->query_vars['product_cat'],
                                        'include_children' => false
                                    ) 
                                 )
    );
  }
}  
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_product_cat_children');

If there is no product in the main category, it does not show the subcategories.

Here I add a product to the main category and show the subcategories.

I would like to show the subcategories even if there are no products in the main category. Thank you very much for your help.

    You are already on the way by using the pre_get_posts hook.

    Here is what you can do:

    function hide_products_in_subcategories($query) {
  // Check if we are on a category archive page
  if ($query->is_tax('product_cat') && $query->is_main_query()) {
    // Set the number of products per page to 0
    $query->set('posts_per_page', 0);
  }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'hide_products_in_subcategories');

    This is the exact quirk I want to fix. It’s weird this isn’t a setting. Seems obvious.

    UPDATE
    Found the fix! Added this to functions.php and all is well.

    function exclude_product_cat_children($wp_query) {
if ( isset ( $wp_query->query_vars['product_cat'] ) && $wp_query->is_main_query()) {
    $wp_query->set('tax_query', array( 
                                    array (
                                        'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                                        'field' => 'slug',
                                        'terms' => $wp_query->query_vars['product_cat'],
                                        'include_children' => false
                                    ) 
                                 )
    );
  }
}  
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_product_cat_children');
