[Resolved] Hide Category from sidebar menu

[Gevorg]

Hello,

I am trying to hide one category from displaying in the drop-down menu on the sidebar.

I looked at some previous discussions here and added the following code

add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘excludeCat’);
function excludeCat($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set(‘cat’, ’69’);
}
return $query;
}

But it gives some errors and not saving in the custom CSS.

Could you please guide?

Thank you

Hi there,

The code you have would exclude a certain category from the blog archive page.

The category widget is coming from WordPress and not controlled by GP. I did find this that might be worth trying:

The code would be PHP.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Leo,

I tried it but it still gives an error.

Make sure you’re adding it using one of these methods, as it’s not CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
