How do I hide sub categories in the hamburger menu ?
I found the solution here

It should be in your Site Settings under Basic Setup
Which version are you on?

It was moved to the Edit Category dialog. Visit the Category topics, click Edit Category, then under the Settings tab it is `Show subcategory list above topics in this category.`

Check the Category Settings

OK its working. But I also don’t want to show subcategory list above topics in the category.

Unfortunately, both settings did that, so there isn’t any other way to feasibly get what you want at this time.
There is a #pr-welcome to make it easier to hide sub-categories from the hamburger menu though

Enabling “suppress this category from the homepage” doesn’t remove the subcategory from the hamburger menu anymore. I’m on v1.9.0.beta4 +322.

You can do it via CSS which is more consistent

Not really useful for me as it will hide all subcategories.

Then customize the CSS to be (to target the hosting category)
```plaintext
.menu-panel .category-links.category-hosting { display: none }
```

I’m posting because it should work by using the setting not adding another css hack.

Another way is:
```css
.menu-panel.drop-down .category-link.subcategory {
display:none;
}
```

Hi,
Is this the code to remove the “Uncategorized” Category from the hamburger menu?
> .menu-panel.drop-down .category-Uncategorized {
> display:none;
> }
I am adding it to /admin/customize/themes/9/common/scss/edit, which is our site’s default theme.
It doesn’t seem to be working - help welcome! 🙂

CSS selectors are case-sensitive. The rest of CSS, not so much ([read more](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#characters))
So instead of
```plaintext
.menu-panel.drop-down .category-Uncategorized {
display: none;
}
```
try
```plaintext
.menu-panel.drop-down .category-uncategorized {
display: none;
}
```

Hi @Johani, that worked perfectly. If anyone else is trying to figure out how to hide the uncategorized Category from the hamburger menu, they can try your solution with confidence. Thank you!
