I saw some topics about this, but I can’t find the option to hide it. For example: [image] Hide category from latest Support Have you checked the default categories muted site setting? Categories defined there will have their topics excluded from the /latest page. Where is this default categories muted site settings? I looked inside all options in https://dannytest.discourse.group/admin/site_settings, but I can’t find it. I’m still on the trial version. Is this a “premium” feature or something?

I saw that plugin as well, but that won’t work on the trial version or the lowest paid hosted plan, which will be the one I will be on once I start my forum. I wish this was available natively as a feature… So what is that default categories muted site settings that people are talking about on that topic?

it is here: [image] go to all site settings and input “default categories” in the settings filter at the top of the page. There are default settings for watching and tracking as well.

EDIT: I’m now self-hosting, not on a trial version anymore. Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to work, or I’m missing something. I added all categories to the Default Categories Watching, except one. [image] Then I created a new topic on that one I excluded, but when I go back to the main Topics page, I can see the topics there, the ones that were supposed to be excluded. [image] Maybe that option is not what I’m looking for? If my question was not clear enough, I basically just want to exclude topics from a certain category from the main Topics page. For example if I have a Classifieds category and it’s very active, I don’t want new topics showing up in the Latest, because that will crowd the list for other users more interested in real discussions. Hope it makes sense…

have you tried this plugin? i use it on multiple sites to hide certain categories from the topic list pages like /latest. unlike the Default categories muted setting, the categories will show up normally on the categories page.
