is this for all? is there a way to hide specified categories? say I have 5 and i dont want one of them.

If you want to one specific category, you can. Just add the category ID for that one category you want to hide (and not any category IDs).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I found this code elsewhere and modified it to filter out a couple categories from my blog and rss feed. // Hide Category from feed // function myFeedExcluder($query) { if ($query->is_feed) { $query->set('cat','-28,-312,-196'); } return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts','myFeedExcluder'); // Hide Category from blog // function exclude_category($query) { if ( $query->is_home()) { $query->set('cat', '-28,-312,-196'); } return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
