how to hide category listing in post

UPPP

Check the docs or create a properly contexted question that explains what you want to do…

Bumping a post with Up!! UPP!! etc is not going to earn you any special help.

I have already check the codex but , I don’t understand where i can put the ID category I want to hide in the code of MichaelH !

If you can help me thx a lot ??

i replace the code <?php the_category(‘, ‘); ?> , and i don’t know where I place the “exclude=204” (204 it s the number of my category )

Replace…

cat_to_exclude

with the name of the category…

Using Michael’s example…

You use the category name and not the ID… it’s quite self explanatory if you look at the code…

<?php
// For each of the categories, create them as category variables
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
    // If the category is NOT the cat_name (category name) then echo some stuff
    // So grab all... except where they match cat_name (exclude basically)
    if ($category->cat_name != 'cat_to_exclude') {
    echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> ';
}
}
?>

I added a few comments in there (the code will still work), but it should be obvious.

oh ok, thx a lot ??
it works !

Hello,

This was really helpful.

How do I go about hiding more than 1 category using this method?

Bump

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah you should be able to do something like this… (untested)

Change this line…
if ($category->cat_name != 'cat_to_exclude') {

To…

if ($category->cat_name != 'cat_to_exclude' or 'another_cat_to_exclude') {

Let me know if that works for you…

I tried this but it didn’t work

if ($category->cat_name != 'Past Project' or 'Current Project') {

Try this instead then..

if ($category->cat_name != 'cat_to_exclude' || $category->cat_name != 'another_to_exclude') {

Hmm.. Can’t get that last one working either..

if ($category->cat_name != 'uncategorized' || $category->cat_name != 'featured') {

This hides “uncategorized” just fine, but “featured” still shows up.

Did anyone figure out how to hide more than one category?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Or you could use a plug-in .. Advanced Category Excluder
