Up0Hi There 🙂
First, Thanks for the great theme. Overall, very happy with it!
If I could make one small (maybe nit-picky) suggestion, it would be the ability to exclude categories from the category filter on the blog page.
For example, I am also working Buddypress on my site, and the category filter presents my Youzify media files as a category on the blog page. It also presents my parent category which is redundant given then presences of the “All” filter button that is already there.
Now, if there is already a way to do this, I haven’t been able to find it, and I’m all ears!! I also recognize I can create a blog template and use a plugin like Category Ajax Filter, but hey, I absent this issue, I really like how the blog is laid out with Gwangi 🙂
Hi Michael,
Could you provide us with screenshots of your website please? Please don’t hesitate to comment or highlight your screenshots to help us better understand your issue. You can also share the link of the page so we can take a look.
Thank you.
Sure thing.
Two screens attached. On shows the categories defined in admin -> Posts -> Categories. I have re-named both the un-catagorized and Youzify categories for display purposes. I also have not defined a parent category.
So, the blog page screen shows the blog page display with the filter. For example, I would like to exclude the un-categorized and Youzify (member media) categories from the displayed filter to keep things limited to author blog posts for specific categories.
In addition, a parent category (if one was present) would show up and create a redundancy with the “All” filter button.
Hi Michael,
To change this, you’ll have to use the following code snippet to your website. This snippet uses the data-filter value. You’ll have to adapt it to suits to your categories. Please find the attached screenshot.
/** * Remove categories from archive page */ .posts-filter.nav .nav-item a[data-filter*="category-food"], .posts-filter.nav .nav-item a[data-filter*="category-lifestyle"]{ display:none; }To add this code snippet to your site, we recommend that you paste it to the Custom CSS panel of your WordPress Customizer. Just go to your dashboard and navigate to “Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS”.
Pasting your code snippet there should do the trick for you.Also, it’s important to remember that we share snippet only to solve issues with our theme. Any further request for CSS snippets will have to be part of a defect that needs to be fixed urgently. No snippets will be shared otherwise.
If you want to go further with the customization of your website, we advise that you require customization work.
Regards,
Ah shoot, that css isn’t removing the filter buttons from the page. I mean, it looks like it should to me, but I’m just not very knowledgeable with css syntax.
Screen attached.
Hi Michael,
This snippet hide the categories from the posts page, not the admin. You can’t delete these categories.
In case this snippet doesn’t work on your website, it’s best if we take a quick look at this. Could you create a new website user for us please? If possible with administrator capabilities so we can make a quick check of your settings.
You can post the user name and password in your next reply and mark it as private to keep this between us. Please send us the url of your posts page.Thank you.

Thank you Michael,
It seems the data-filter was not displayed. I adjusted the snippet to use the href instead and it’s working.
/** * Remove categories from archive page - */ .posts-filter.nav .nav-item a[href*="blog/uncategorized/"], .posts-filter.nav .nav-item a[href*="blog/youzify_media/"]{ display:none; }Can you confirm me all is working fine on your side?
Best,
Yay!
Thanks very much!
You’re welcome! 🙂
