[image] I’m aware these are all always visible to admins by default. But let’s say I don’t want to see them on my personal site I’m building on Discourse, even as an admin. How could I hide all of these topics in all categories?

You can unlist them but then you’ll still see them because you are an admin. :thinking: Though you could mute the topics.

This is an update that works perfectly for my use case. If you want to hide a particular topic via CSS, on page load and henceforth, this will do it. Just add your topic IDs to the list of topic IDs: <script> document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { var topicIdsToHide = ["1…
