How to exclude some categories from the category menu in Wordpress

by Kishore on March 21, 2008

You might be in a situation to exclude some categories which you might have created for some tracking purpose and you do not want to display to the visitors. You can do this by simply modifying the category function

Usually the categories on the menu can be found at the header.php file in your assigned template folder.

 

<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=') ?>
//change this to where 6 and 43 is the category id
<?php wp_list_categories('exclude=6,43&title_li=') ?>
