Exclude a category from IPPO Theme category nav
-
Hi,
I’d like to exclude one category from the list of categories on the homepage.
I found this CSS code but this excludes all categories –
.category-filter { display:none; }
How do I amend that so I exclude one category but show all of the others?
Thanks!

Hello there,
Many thanks for reaching out.
On first glance, this wouldn’t be possible with CSS.
What is it you would like to show on the homepage specifically? Perhaps we can offer some further insights.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
My homepage is ‘latest content’ and set up similar to the theme example. The category navigation at the top of the posts displays my categories.
I have an ‘about’ category that I don’t want to display in this list but I don’t know how to exclude it.
The above CSS code successfully worked to get rid of all categories from the list, but I can’t work out a way to only get rid of one.
Thanks for your help!

Hello there,
Ok thank you for that additional information.
It looks like you’ve created a portfolio item for About me: https://ferjones.com/2021/03/14/about-me/ you might want to delete this altogether and consider creating a page instead.
The page you can add to the ordinary menu via Customize > Menus.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I created an ‘about’ post as a workaround solution. The featured banner on the IPPO theme is for featured content which is only posts with the selected tag.
I wanted the homepage to show this section as a link to ‘about’, and then below show the latest post content.
It wouldn’t work doing this as a page as the featured content only recognises Post tags. I also tried doing the static homepage option, however as I’d like the latest post format to show on the homepage too I couldn’t get this to work either.
If there’s another workaround solution for this then that would get rid of my desire to exclude the ‘about’ category from the category list!
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
If you are wanting to remove the about category from your navigation menu, go to Design > Category > Menu, click on
Revised Menu, click the About tab and there is an option to delete it. It should look like this afterwards:Let me know if that helps.

Hello!
Thank you so much for your recommendation.
It’s actually the post category headers on the latest post section. (scroll down from the image you’ve attached. It says ‘a collection of my work’ and then post category headers to click through.) This includes the ‘about’. Is there a way of not showing the ‘about’ category there?
As mentioned above, I created the ‘about’ post as a workaround to have it as the featured post.
I thought there might be a workaround with some CSS but it seems to be that what I’m asking for can’t be done!
Thanks for the help or if you have any other suggestions I’d be grateful to hear!

It looks like you’re referring to the “About” category link. The category can be deleted here:
