hey. I want to exclude certain categories from the category dropdown, but still have access to it through the Posts – Categories dashboard. Basically, I have an ‘Under Construction’ category for myself but don’t want my readers to see that.

thanks!

Hey Peter,

Please give us the URL of the page where we can find your category dropdown. Also provide a screenshot.

Thanks.

Hello Peter,

Please add the following code on your child theme’s functions.php file.

//Hide categories from WordPress category widget
function exclude_widget_categories($args){
    $exclude = "1,2,3,4";
    $args["exclude"] = $exclude;
    return $args;
}
add_filter("widget_categories_args","exclude_widget_categories");

Replace “1,2,3,4” with your own category IDs.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Please add following code in Customize -> Custom -> Global CSS :

.widget_categories option.level-0[value="279"] {
    display: none;
}

Hope that helps.

[Peter Fae]

do I also need to add the code to the functions component of my child theme or leave that out?

[Peter Fae]

also … not working.

Hi Peter,

Look for this part:

/*
.page-id-3583 .x-post-carousel {
	display: none;
}

Update to this:

.page-id-3583 .x-post-carousel {
	display: none;
}

/* */ That is a syntax for multiple line comments. Please make sure that everything has closing. /* will look for the closing tag for comment thus will make CSS after that from working. Check other parts to for any error.

Hope this helps.
