i found following code which hides category from home page (which is front-end), i just need to find out how to hide from admin mode.

function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-1,-1347' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

I cant do custom taxonomy right now as my site almost finished. so looking for quick solution.

anyways can anyone put a light on above code, may be some modifications will hide category from admin????

It worked.

I now used category__in rather than category__and

Thanks once again to Alchymyth.

Thanks alchymyth
it displays:

Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 30 [2] => 24 )

Which is basically the category ID’s.

Now the syntax for category__and is

'category__and' => array(1, 2, 3)

So if put my array which is $cur_cat_

'category__and' => $cur_cat_

which means: 'category__and' => Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 30 [2] => 24 )

What I need now is this format:
'category__and' => array(3, 30, 24)

Any clue?
