How to remove categories from nav bar?

If your theme supports it, you can replace your current nav menu with a custom one. This page should help with that:

Appearance Menus Screen

I’m pretty sure you have to have a theme that has that feature. It’s not something that all themes can do.

I found the code for mine in the header php and just deleted it.

Make a copy of your header php first of course in case something goes wrong, but that’s what i did.

After checking which theme you’re using, it seems to also have a custom way to change your nav bar if it doesn’t support custom menus through “Appearance->Menus”. Seems to be an option in your “ePanel”:

Since you’re using a premium theme, you should be able to get support directly from the developers if you ever have any problems or questions. They’ll know much more about the theme than anyone here.

That’s one way to go about it if you want to get rid of the nav bar completely. As far as editing any theme directly, it’s best to use a child theme so you don’t lose any edits if/when your theme updates. It also keeps a pristine copy of your parent theme.

This should help further if you haven’t already found it:

I didn’t get rid of my navbar completely, just what i didn’t want on it like the categories and the search feature.

@fawkesblog2:

It’s theme dependent. Your theme had extra stuff such as a search form and categories wrapped up with your nav menu. Most themes will only have wp_nav_menu, wp_page_menu, or a custom function. Deleting them will result in a loss of the entire nav menu. Since this is a premium theme which provides a built-in way of organizing the menu items, I would assume it’s using a single custom function rather than one for pages and one for categories.

I have a little problem with my site as well.

I have 2 main headers:
HOME ABOUT

I’m fine with that. I don’t need the ABOUT thing though.

Under that, it has:
COACHES MEMORABILIA NEWS PLAYERS UNCATEGORIZED

Then in the meat of the site, it doubles the news up…. first categorizing it as PACKER NEWS, then below it has NEWS and COACHES.

All I want is NEWS & MEMORABILIA.
Whether it’s called NEWS or PACKER NEWS, I don’t care.

Is this not as simple as I think it should be?
Yes, I’m as dumb as it seems…..all I know in life is sports.

Thanks
