Hide Categories from Sidebar Nav in WP 2.3.2

I'm upgrading my WP install and changing the theme on my business site / blog.

Current site: http://BizAmmo.com
New theme: http://dev.bizammo.com

As you can see from the current site, I have 20 categories listed (business topics). There are others, like the glossary and blog categories, which I've hidden from that section of the list using a plugin (category visibility plugin I believe).

It doesn't seem to work on the latest version of Wordpress, but under the "sections" area on the right on the new theme, I still need to hide three categories, which I'll be displaying elsewhere manually.

I haven't been able to find another plugin to do this effectively. I saw one or two that claimed to be able to, but they either didn't work or weren't compatible with other necessary plugins.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this category issue fixed? It's pretty much the last thing I'm waiting on now before switching designs on the main domain.

Thanks!

Jenn

 

Maybe this will help:

You might have to do a mixture of both.

 

you could manually edit the sidebar and use something like

<?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&include=3,5,9,16'); ?>

PHP:

to display the categories you wish too

Thanks guys. It's working beautifully now with the exclude option.
