Tag: WordPress category list

A typical WordPress theme will provide only one set of categories wherein all categories are already listed. Suppose you want two or more sets of categories in two separate lists, there are two ways you can modify your WordPress theme to do just that.

The categories where a particular post belongs are usually listed somewhere in the post page, usually under the post title. For administrative or some other reasons, you want to assign posts to a particular category but you do not want your site visitors to see this category. This is how you prevent one or more category from showing up in the post page.

The category list is a useful navigation that normallly comes with a WordPress theme and can usually be found at the sidebar. For a variety of reasons, you might want to prevent some categories from showing in this list while they remain accessible through the dashboard or by manually typing the URL.
