Is there an easy easy to remove the “Latest” section from the Categories page?

Since we heavily use sub-boards, we prefer a simple list with just the Category names here with the Latest listed under the sub-boards.

Simplest thing here is to hide it using CSS.

Admin → Customize → CSS

Get rid of the topic column

```
 .categories .latest {
      display: none;
 }

```

Get rid of the stats

```
.categories .stats {
      display: none;
 }

```

No, you don’t need that, just turn on “show subcategory list on category page” option in site settings.

nope this is just about `/categories` he wants a more minimal design. I recall we talked about “flavors” here but never got to it.

Sam is correct. We are looking to remove the posts from /category only.

I had the same question. Anything new since 2014?

Welcome to Meta @Devin_Henrickson 👋

A lot has changed. You can search for `desktop_category_page_style` in site settings. It gives you a few options. One of them is `Categories Only`
