Some CSS help hiding categories on the front-end dropdown menu

[Peter_Fae]

Hey. I’m wanting to hide certain categories from the front-end users in the category-dropdown widget. I have a good 20 categories or so which are only for Authors and don’t need to be shown (and are unnecessary for regular users)

I was trying this code for a single category, but it wasn’t quite working. Is my syntax off? Also, how would I do that for multiple categories?

input#editor-post-taxonomies-hierarchical-term-672,
input#editor-post-taxonomies-hierarchical-term-672 + label {
display: none;
}

Hello Peter,

Thanks for posting in!

Are you referring to this widget?

You may use this code:

.DisplayCategoriesWidget option[value*="710"],
.DisplayCategoriesWidget option[value*="664"] {
    display: none;
}

Please do not forget to change the values which would be the ID of the category that you do not want to display.
