How to Limit WordPress Menu Categories?

If i want to show only 6 categories or limit them, in header menu bar (header cat) how i can do?

My blog is listed under my recent blog, see in sky blue bar.

 

You could do it a few ways.

You could do it by including categories, suppose you only want to show category numbers 1,3,5

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&include=1,3,5'); ?>

Code (markup):

Suppose you want to define categories you DONT want shown, category id 2,4,6 for example:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&exclude=2,4,6'); ?>

Code (markup):

Or if you just want to show the first 6 categories:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&number=6'); ?>

Code (markup):

I hope this helps

 

I change this line in menu widgets but not work. my menu widgets file code is

 
<div id="menu">
 <ul>
 <li<?php if(!is_category() && !is_page()) { ?> class="current-cat"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
 <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=ID&order=ASC&depth=2&hide_empty=0&title_li='); ?>
 </ul>
 
 <form class="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
  <fieldset>
   <input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" class="searchfield" />
   <input type="submit" value="" class="searchbutton" />
  </fieldset>
 </form>
</div>

PHP:

 

Just add it like this and it should work.

<div id="menu">
 <ul>
 <li<?php if(!is_category() && !is_page()) { ?> class="current-cat"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
 <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=ID&order=ASC&depth=2&hide_empty=0&title_li=&number=6'); ?>
 </ul>
 
 <form class="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
  <fieldset>
   <input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" class="searchfield" />
   <input type="submit" value="" class="searchbutton" />
  </fieldset>
 </form>
</div>
