Excluding a Category in Theme Options not working
I'm trying to set up a menu on my page where people can sort content on the page without having to load in another page.
Under "Latest Investment Opportunities" I need the users to be able to select Open Investments, Funded Investments, Closed and Repaid investments. However, it keeps including the Private Mortgages Learning Resources Tab (as shown in the Tab Appearance image) even if I've excluded the category in the theme options.
How can I remove "Private Mortgage Learning Resources" and order the tabs so that all they see will be:
Pooled Mortgage Funds | Open | Funded | Repaid | Closed

Hi,
Please always attach a link to your website so we can check it out. If the page is offline(localhost), then our help will be limited. You will have to contact us when the page is online. Also, please make sure that the page is not under maintenance before you provide us the link.
Are you using a Blog item, or have you set the main blog page?
Are you sure that you used the right slug?
Thanks
Hi Phil,
The website is live: https://activepropertygroup.com.au/
All you need is the site link?
Thanks.
Btw, the page where my webdev is testing the feature is this one: https://activepropertygroup.com.au/private-mortgages-2/
It's online, but you can only access it via direct link.
I can see that you used the blog item. If you want to exclude the categories from there, open the item options, and there you will find a field to show only selected categories.
The place you showed in the first screenshot is for the blog page you set in Settings -> Reading.

Hi Phil,
We tried what you suggested but the tabs just disappeared. I made a recording here so you could see what we did: https://www.screencast.com/t/eqDT5ZAZLG
Thanks
I am afraid that what you want to achieve will not be possible through options.
Please, put the following CSS code in the Custom CSS section, which you can find at the bottom of Page options.
#Filters .categories .private-mortgages-learning-resources{ display: none!important; }Thanks
Thanks, Phil, the CSS code worked in removing the Tab at the top. However, when the page loads the first time, it still displays the articles under Learning Resources (even if the Learning Resources tab has been hidden via CSS).
After I start clicking the tabs, then the articles disappear from the selection. However, it's important that the articles don't show up even when the page loads the first time.
How can we do this?
In the Blog item options, you can exclude the posts that belong to this category (the filters will still be visible).
Thanks
Hi Phil,
Is there a limit to that field? We can start placing the IDs there to get the page working asap. But I don't want to be caught off-guard if, after the 15th or 20th blog post, we can no longer enter the blog IDs.
Thanks.

Hey Guys
I have pretty similar problem, can you help me.
https://www.simplyhiking.ch/alte-touren/
THis is the site. I used the blog function here. I have in the options ALL CAT and used the custom CSS code you had above, to hide the categories, i don't wanna see there in the filter..
For however reason the code doesn't work, can you help me out.
Thanks and regards
Robin
No, there is no limit.
You can exclude as many posts as you want.
Sorry, for my late response. Somehow I did not post this comment.
Please, rename the category name. Now its class is a number and it does not allow to write a proper CSS (also it should not start with a number).
After renaming it the code works.
#Filters .categories .plus3000{ display: none!important; }Thanks
Thanks a lot for the help. If I want to hide several categories, how can I do that?
Regards
Robin
@Webmastertroubles69,
You need to add a code to hide other categories to the code I have sent before.
It should look like this:
#Filters .categories .sommersaison, #Filters .categories .via-glaralpina, #Filters .categories .unesco-welterbe-sardona{ display: none!important; }Thanks
