Hide a Category

Hello @sayandutta

Removing a category requires custom code and modifying the default WordPress loop. What I can recommend you instead is to switch your homepage to use the [blocksy_posts] shortcode — https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/docs/developers-general-developers/blocksy-posts-shortcode/ — which lets you query just some of the categories and exclude categories that way, via the exclude_term_ids attribute. It should be easy enough to implement, as all shortcodes.

Later edit: If you’re looking to go the more advanced route, I can recommend you to check this article here — https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-exclude-a-category-from-your-wordpress-homepage/. It has a few tips on how to use a third party plugin, as well as a custom code example.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
