# Hide empty category

 * i’m using a shortcode to display menus. If i have 4 categories configured to 
   display (e.g. categ=”3,17,6,4,5″ ) , it shows all four headings, even if some
   of the categories don’t contain any ‘menu items’. Is there any way to automatically
   hide the headings for any ’empty categories’ without having to manually adjust
   the shortcode each time?
    thanks 🙂

 * Hi [@tallhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tallhat/),
    Unfortunately there
   is not an option to hide empty categories if they are displayed by shortcode.
   Thanks
