I can’t figure out how to get a subcategory (“Build your own teen innovation challenge” in this case) to stop showing up (the arrow) on the main category page . I’ve tried several things. Can you help? [community]

I can’t find a site setting for this but you could hide it using CSS in a theme component.

Combined with @manuel ’s CSS above, this worked perfectly. Thank you.

You’d need to inspect the additional element with your browser dev tools and then add it’s class to the style declaration.
