Hello,
is there some way, maybe due a CSS hack, to hide the “uncategorized” category?
This category is disabled by default. It has no content and couldn’t be removed at all.
Thank you

If #Uncategorized is disabled, then non-staff users will not see it in the hamburger menu, but staff will see it regardless of the setting (not sure why though 🙂).
But if you want to hide it from your staff too, then here is CSS code to hide it:
```css
.category-uncategorized {
display: none;
}
```

Hi
Probably stupid question, but could you tell me where I should add this CSS code into?
Thanks a lot.

Hi
Go to Admin \> Customize \> Themes and create a new theme and then click on Edit CSS/HTML and add the CSS code under Common \> CSS. Finally make the new theme a component under your default theme. Hope this helps! 🙂

Ok you’ve done the first step. Now you need to add the new theme as a component for your default theme like so:

Hmmm.. this looks correct to me, not sure what’s going on. Is your site private? If not, I’d be happy to take a look for you.
