How To Hide Wordpress Category

I have a category called "Featured" that I use as a second category for some posts I write. This is used only for my own organization.

For example, I will write a post and file it under "Category 1" and "Featured". In the different areas of my blog that list all the categories, I would like to not display the "Featured" category, as this is only for my own personal organization. The line of code Im looking at is:

<?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li='); ?>

Code (markup):

Does anyone know how to exclude a certain category from being listed, the same way you can exclude page numbers? Thanks!!!!

 

You might want to look here http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Include_or_Exclude_Categories

 

have a look at this page > http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

 

Thanks for the links. I was able to hide the categories within Wordpress, but the problem Im facing is actually within the breadcrumb navigation plugin. When you view the post, the breadcrumb navigation plugin shows something like this:

Home > Category A, Category B > Article Name

Im trying to hide, for example, Category B from displaying, and the plugin is not written using Wordpress codex.

 

did you ever find a solution to this? im having the same problem

 

I too had the same problem.Its solved now.

 

@gouthamlal - Why don't you post your solution since this thread attracted at least 3 people with similar issues

 

I echo that, if you have a solution gouthamlal please share so others can do this too.

 

there is an option in wordpress to make post private....try checking that

 

just by adding

<?php
wp_list_categories('exclude=4,7&title_li='); ?>

Code (markup):

Here 4, 7 are the category id's, which you can find by dropping you mouse on category name in admin section.

 

Just add this to the end of your style.css file. Change the cat-item number as applicable.
.cat-item-1 {display:none;}

 

Well you can even customised your theme go to theme editor and single.php/page.php and remove the "breadcrumb code"

 

Thanks angrezy, the exclude option did the trick for me.

 

You could hide them if you had the CSS upgrade.

 

delet this code in template, or just choice a template with no category.
