How to Hide WordPress Categories
WordPress categories organize your posts into specific sections and display in the menu or sidebar depending on the type of theme you are using. These sections help your visitor navigate your website. If you have no use for this feature, you have the option to install a plugin, which is a PHP script that gives your site special functions. Use the tools in your account to install a plugin that hides WordPress categories.
