hide parent category

  • Hi is it possible to hide a ‘parent’ category from the navigation ? i have a category called ‘catering’ on my site here but i dont want it to display again in the drop down menu as it has no posts assigned to it.

    Can it be done? i tried the ‘Just one category’ plugin which makes sure that the posts in the child cats dont display but the parent category is still displaying in the nav bar

    Thanks in advance
    Al

    Still using this plugin or something else?
    Try to edit the code and exclude category:

    Thanks for looking im afraid i wouldnt know where to edit the code. Even if i could change the category to say ‘All Catering’ it just looks a little odd i think the way it displays it again at the moment.

    thanks

    How do you list the categories ?

    The categories are listed by the theme in alphabetical order i guess. The theme is called directorypress but i have tried them for support and have had no luck.

    Ive used firebug and i can delete the category using it but i have no idea how i would do it for ‘real’

    Thanks

    Well, find the function that lists the cats and give to me. I’ll try to fix it.

    Sorry mate thats the point i dont know where the function is all i can find is something that says ‘Droplist5’ in firebug, ive searched the theme for that term and i cant find it anywhere……?

    Surfershort,

    Now that a few months have passed, how do you like the DirectoryPress theme? I see they have made a few updates. Whats the good and the bad? I looked at your site and it appears sharp, wondering if it runs as good on the backend or still clunky like some people have mentioned with DirectoryPress.

    Thanks,

    Franklin
