When you click on the search icon it still brings up the full list. Any chance that we can disable that d=function? The client does not want users to have access to the full list, only when they type in their area * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-category-box/#post-15762101) * That would require a bit of JavaScript to accomplish. * After a quick web search I found this solution: - [https://stackoverflow.com/a/64309355/5351316](https://stackoverflow.com/a/64309355/5351316) * The working example code from that post: * ``` const post = document.querySelector('form'); post.oninput = function() { post.querySelector('button').disabled = [...post.querySelectorAll(':scope > [name]')] .some(input => !input.value.trim()) }; ``` * I think to make it work with your setup it would require this slight modification: * ``` const post = document.querySelector('form#cn-cat-select'); post.oninput = function() { post.querySelector('button').disabled = [...post.querySelectorAll(':scope > [name]')] .some(input => !input.value.trim()) }; ``` * Thread Starter [webture](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webture/) * (@webture) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-category-box/#post-15766533) * Thank you – but this does not seem to be working 🙁 where exactly should this code be placed? * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-category-box/#post-15767742) * Try adding it using the Code Snippets plugin: - [https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) * I have not tried the code myself, so, you may have to debug/tweak it further. However, I am unsure what would need to be changed beyond what I already suggested. Perhaps it is not working because the code is not on the page … I took a look at the page source and did not see it * Thread Starter [webture](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webture/) * (@webture) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-category-box/#post-15769547) * Would it be possible to give you WP access to have a look?

I deleted the plugin, it was still there, I restored a site backup from before the plugin was installed – it was still there. Their support Is not getting back to me.

OK I managed to get rid of that code left behind from code snippets. Is there anything else you can do to assist with the search icon being clicked on and showing all the results? If not, can you maybe suggest an alternative solution/ plugin?
