I am hosting a discourse install that is acting as a wiki for 2 people. I don’t need the staff category for this purpose - its just cluttering up the screen. I can use the following css to hide it on the desktop: // hide staff category tr[data-category-id="3"] { display: none; } This doesn’t work on mobile though. Does anyone know how to hide the staff category on mobile?

That didn’t seem to work. This did: // hide staff category tr[data-category-id="3"], .category-list-item[data-category-id="3"] { display: none; }

Try // hide staff category tr[data-category-id="3"], category[data-category-id="3"] { display: none; }

Unfortunately, there are still staff posts appearing in search. I looked at the css, and managed to narrow down the section using this: .fps-result .author a[data-user-card=“system”] { } but it seems that there is no current way to select the parent class in the css spec (though its in a future spec), so I don’t see how it’s possible to hide these search entries without changes to the way discourse styles entries on the search pages.

Completely trying to hide a un-deletable category which exists specifically for staff seems difficult. If it’s bothering you that much, I guess you could use as a main account a new one with a trust level 4, and log in with your admin account only when you have to do admin stuff.

Maybe make those users not be staff?
