In line 195 you’re using get_categories
, which can be filtered to exclude specific category numbers, either through an array of arguments, or a query string. Since $options
is already set, you could add to it before you call get_categories
:
if ($show_assigned_categories == 'true' && is_single()) {
$categories = get_the_category();
}
else {
$options['exclude'] = '1,2,3'; // your comma-separated list goes here
$categories = get_categories($options);
}
