I **recommend** using this **plugin** to see if that **fixes** your problem. * If **not**, there may be a **plugin** or **theme** conflict **causing** this behavior. * Please attempt to **disable** all plugins, and use one of the **default** (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes **away**, enable the **plugins** one by one to identify the **source** of your troubles. * If you can install plugins, **install** and **activate** **Health Check**: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) It will add a new **feature** under Tools > Site Health. On its **Troubleshooting** tab, you can **Enable Troubleshooting Mode**. This mode will **disable** all plugins, **switch** to a standard WordPress theme (if available), **allow** you to turn your plugins **on and off**, and **switch** between themes, **without** affecting normal visitors to your site. **Following** these **steps** allows you to **test** for various **compatibility** issues. * There’s a more **detailed** description about how to use the **Health Check** plugin and its **Troubleshooting Mode** at [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/). * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Hiding Categories from Widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hiding-categories-from-widget/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hiding-categories-from-widget/#post-13447218) * You’re welcome! * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Hiding Categories from Widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hiding-categories-from-widget/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hiding-categories-from-widget/#post-13445532) * Try this **code** for the **tags**: * ``` // Omit Specific Items from Tag Widget function custom_tags_widget($args) { $exclude = "43"; // Tag ID/s to be omitted separated by comma/s $args["exclude"] = $exclude; return $args; } add_filter("widget_tag_cloud_args","custom_tags_widget"); ``` * I’m pretty certain that the **Nectar** widgets are created by your **theme** or a **plugin**.

If you’ve **set** the Categories Widget to **“Display as dropdown,”** there’s a slightly **different filter** you’ll need to use: * ``` // Omit Specific Categories from Category Widget function custom_category_widget($args) { $exclude = "43"; // Category ID/s to be omitted separated by comma/s $args["exclude"] = $exclude; return $args; } add_filter("widget_categories_dropdown_args","custom_category_widget"); ``` * `widget_categories_dropdown_args` needs to be used **rather** than `widget_categories_args`. * If that **doesn’t** work, there may be a **plugin** or **theme** conflict that’s** preventing** the code from working. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Classic Editor: “Add Media” Button Not Working From Add Post/Add Product Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/classic-editor-add-media-button-not-working-from-add-post-add-product-page/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/classic-editor-add-media-button-not-working-from-add-post-add-product-page/#post-13441674) * 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Upload Theme button broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-theme-button-broken/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-theme-button-broken/#post-13441671) * You’re welcome!

And you’re right, they don’t change the URLs! Most appear to have almost identical interfaces, so I’m guessing they’re derived from a single source. Another just overloaded the resources on my shared hosting account! * In general, there’s little need for changing the URLs of static content like images and documents in WordPress, which is why it’s hard to find this functionality. * I recommend using an open source document management system or file management system if you’re in need of hosting a document repository.

In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations. You can find support for it here: [https://themeforest.net/item/betheme-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/7758048/support](https://themeforest.net/item/betheme-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/7758048/support). * Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products like BeTheme, so they would not know why it is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors, in this case Muffin group. They are responsible for supporting their commercial product.
