How can I stop the new arrivals from listing on Category pages? I still want the module to work, but listing on Category pages is throwing off some SEO stuff.

I don't see a New Arrivals block on any of your static pages.
Also I checked on my stock X-Cart 5.2.15 and it appears that New Arrivals do not appear on static pages by default.

Well apparently I screwed this up. The SEO guy was sending me the link for an empty category. I thought it was a Static page. Either way, how can I remove that bit of code from the Category pages?

There is no setting to configure it, but you can tweak the visibility of the block from a custom module.

You should "decorate" the getAllowedTargets() method of \XLite\Module\CDev\ProductAdvisor\View\NewArrivals class and make it always remove "category" from the parent's result.

I.e. it should be something like this:

PHP Code:

namespace XLite\Module\YOUR_DEV_ID\YOUR_MOD_ID\View;

class NewArrivals extends \XLite\Module\CDev\ProductAdvisor\View\NewArrivals implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    /**
     * Return list of targets allowed for this widget
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public static function getAllowedTargets()
    {
        $result = array();
        foreach (parent::getAllowedTargets() as $target) {
            if ($target !== 'category') {
                $result[] = $target;
            }
        }
        return $result;
    }
}
