Hey,

I could not find an answer to this question so far.

I found this on the website faqs but it didn’t work.

.cn-cat-parent #uncategorized {
    display: none;
}

It’s no problem, because I have nothing with the category “uncategorized”.

But which code I need for hiding other category names from the drop down?

Thanks and best regards

I believe that CSS you found was for the category widget in the Widget Pack. To hide categories in cMap, you can use the exclude_category shortcode option or the show_empty_categories cMap shortcode option.

Hope that helps!

Oh, yes, it was for the widget.

Thank you, that works. I thought it would hide all the entries too. I should have tested before I asked such questions.

Sorry to open this question again.

When I exclude categories to have them disappear from the dropdown the entries disappear in the tables below.

This works for one page I have because the entries all have different categories which aren’t excluded.

But I need the category name excluded from the dropdown but the entries (which have just this one category) included.

Is there any option, maybe now?

Thanks!

Sorry, but just hiding the name without actually excluding the entries associated to the category is not possible. Well sort of, you could resort to some CSS to do it, but it would not be easy to maintain,

#cn-cmap li.active-result:nth-child(n+2):nth-child(-n+3) {
display: none;
}

The above would hide the 2nd and 3rd items in the list. You could add it to your theme’s custom CSS area, but any time you add or remove a category you would have to adjust the CSS selector accordingly.

Hope that helps!
