We'll create fresh WordPress site with Hide Categories installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
Hide one o more categories when you use the_category tag or wp_list_categories tag. No exclude post, but only hide a category name in template view.
Example?
You use a category called “featured” in your template but you don’t want it see? Use Hide Categories
Thanks to infocube for the plugin’s idea
