## Description

Hide one o more categories when you use the_category tag or wp_list_categories tag.
No exclude post, but only hide a category name in template view.
 Example? You use
a category called “featured” in your template but you don’t want it see? Use Hide
Categories

Thanks to [infocube](http://www.infocube.it) for the plugin’s idea

A client was using this and when I updated WP it stopped working. If you are already
using it, you can make it work by changing one line in the plugin code. Go to the
plugin editor and select Hide Categories from the drop down. The file selected on
the right should be ‘hide-categories/hide-categories.php’ 32 lines down you should
see: if(in_array($key, $exclude)) unset($code[$key]); Replace only the first $key
with $r->term_id and save.

Does not hide the selected categories. Some of the selected categories were hidden
on some posts and on others, other (seemingly) random categories were hidden. Tested
with 4.4 and theme ColorMag.
