Hide particular category from navigation

[xplosive0012]

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to NOT show a certain category on the navigation bar? and if so... could someone please explain how do it.

Thanks.

In sidebar_modules/categories.tpl find this string:

{section name=thecat loop=$cat_array}

Replace it with this code:

{section name=thecat loop=$cat_array}
{if $cat_array[thecat].safename ne 'CATEGORY_I_WANT_TO_HIDE'}

Then, find this string a little below:

{/section}

Replace it with this string:

{/if}{/section}

should work, at least in theory.

I'm talking about the Navigation Bar in the header.tpl
Not sidebar?

Basically, there's no difference. Just find the {section} ... {/section} with categories output and modify it as I said. I'd help, but I dont have categories in header.

CATEGORY_I_WANT_TO_HIDE

What do I put there?
The category ID, category name?
What if I want to hide more than one category i,e, *Subcategory*, do I separate with a comma

The category name.
If you want to hide more, you`ll have to add more if statements like those wrote by the user vwdw

[vwdw]

put the "URL" of the category, ie the title you see in the status bar when you hover the link.

It doesn't work.
It will just remove the whole website?

post the code here then
