Simple Catalog Mode for WooCommerce

Screenshots

Go to WooCommerce, Settings, Products and Catalog Mode. To activate catalog mode, mark the checkbox and click on Save changes. Please note that this feature is only available to administrators. 1: Catalog mode means that no product can be purchased by a visitor or customer and thereby, no orders can be placed. 2: All your products can be viewed (shop, archive and product page), just not purchased. 3: The add to cart button text will be changed into Read more on the shop and archive pages for simple and variable products. 4: The button text for grouped products will be View products and for all external products, the button text stays the same. This is the native behavior of WooCommerce when using the purchase filters. This plugin uses two filters: woocommerce_is_purchasable and woocommerce_variation_is_purchasable This plugins does not do anything else, which is the point of being lightweight.
