On a recent WordPress website project I was working on, I needed to remove specific categories from the list of categories that the “get_category()” function returns. Carl Bliss discovered the solution on the Technokinetics blog.
First, add the following to functions.php:
cat_name != 'CATEGORY TO EXCLUDE' && $category->cat_name != 'ANOTHER CATEGORY TO EXCLUDE') {
if ($first_time == 1) {
echo 'name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'';
$first_time = 0;
} else {
echo $separator . 'name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'';
}
}
}
}
?>
Make sure to replace the “CATEGORY TO EXCLUDE” text with your category’s nicename.
Then add the following to your theme:
That’s it!
