You mean when it displays the posts on your blog?
Or when you are writing post you don't want to see the category choices?
-
Here's the text from your other thread, which I deleted:
here it goes.
all of my posts have to be in a category called featured. I found a way to get rid of it showing on the header but now i need to find out how to get rid of it when people view posts. I don't need to cancel out all categories from the posts. Just a selection.

If you want to delete categories from displaying with your post...
If you are using the WordPress Default theme, you would delete:
Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?>
from the wp-content/themes/default/index.php file.See also:

Posted 3 years ago #ok i don't want to delete all of the catergories from the post. I mean by when you view a post it shows the catergories i just want to exclude some catergories from showing in the list. Yes i mean from when i display posts.

Might look at Category Access allows you to limit, by user, what categories the person sees when edit posts.

I don't want to hid the posts or catergories
I want to hide a CERTAIN CATEGORY listing that shows below all of the text in my post. I just don't want it to list certain catergories. If you want ill get you a picture of what i mean.

Okay I missed you saying "when I display posts".
Anyway, look at the template tag, get_the_category().

Posted 3 years ago #well after going through all of the stuff and tried pratically everything i got nothing.

So take all the code from your template, including what you did try, and post it in a pastebin and report the link back here.
A link to see your site would be helpful also.

edit: the ones i tried i had deleted but i tried all from the_category -
Since you didn't show what you tried not too sure what didn't work for you but you would replace
<?php the_category(', '); ?>with something like<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { if ($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> '; } } ?> -

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.

Posted 3 years ago #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 :x
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_excludewith 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.

Posted 3 years ago #Hello,
This was really helpful.
How do I go about hiding more than 1 category using this method?
-
Posted 3 years ago # -
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...

Posted 3 years ago #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') { -

Posted 2 years ago #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.
