Hello, @Mitul,

We are pleased to confirm that your requirement can be achieved through the application of custom CSS code.

Kindly utilize the following CSS snippet, ensuring that you replace ‘your-specific-page-class’ with the class that corresponds to the page you wish to target:
```
.term-chocolates-sweets ul.product-categories li.cat-item.cat-item-15 {
    display: none !important;
}
```
Once you have made the necessary adjustments, please proceed to save your settings. We trust that this solution will effectively address your issue.

Hi,

That link i gave was for example. I want global change to all categories.

So that all category view pages dont display “Wrapping” category.

See here https://prnt.sc/URALdFpSih9A – i dont want to display that red one, on that category list.

Please let me know how do you do that, after you make changes.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand your request to globally exclude certain categories from the shop sidebar. To achieve this, please follow the steps below:

a)Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard.
b)Click on “WooCommerce” in the left-hand menu.
c)Select “Products” and then choose “Categories.”

Once you are in the Categories section, you will see a list of all your product categories. To exclude the “Wrapping” category, please locate it in the list.

Next, hover over the “Wrapping” category, and you should see an option to delete or remove it. Click on that option to remove the category.

By doing this, you will globally exclude the “Wrapping” category from all category view pages, as requested.

After making these changes, please check the shop sidebar, and the “Wrapping” category should no longer be displayed.

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or if there’s anything else we can assist you with.

Yours sincerely,
The 8Themes Team

Hi

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

While hovering over the category, it only shows an option “Delete” which will delete the category.

There is no option “Remove”.

I dont want to delete the category. I just dont want it to appear on the category page.

Please check yourself and provide a solution.

Thank you.

Ok, so to do this through that Custom CSS, I must know the ID of that category right?

I cant make it to work. I opened INSPECT window. But nothing shown when i did hover over category. When i clicked, it just navigated to its page.

Please advice, how exactly to know the ID using that INSPECT window.

Thanks.
