Mobile theme: delete unused categories showing up under title

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, I’m not sure how to explain this (and probably why I’m having trouble finding anything on the forums). On the mobile theme, when I visit a category page it lists the category title and directly below it are a number of other categories listed. How do I modify these other categories? Two of the categories are no longer used and do not appear in the main menu (mobile) but still show up when I visit the category page on mobile. Does that make sense? I’d be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction to rectify this as I’m obviously missing something.

See: http://www.screencast.com/t/TMolQrS3

What I am referring to are the boxes (menu items) under 20 Questions. Not all of them are active but can’t figure out how to turn them off.

Thanks!

Hi,

If you are using the mobile theme, please notice that section will displays you all the subcategories of the main category, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/hDiNUNWjIDh I do not exaclty understand what you want to mean through “two of the categories are no longer used and do not appear in the main menu (mobile) but still show up when I visit the category page on mobile.” Provide more details and some useful screenshots with this case, so I can investigate it closer and provide a more accurate response.

Thank you!

Hi Catalin

Using your example please see screenshot below as to what I am seeing. There are no subcategories under the “Theatre” main category on the non-mobile site. The mobile site is showing subcategories.

The two categories I have circled are not part of any menu on the site.

I hope that makes sense? Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Yes, it seems to be a minor bug in our theme. On the mobile, if you do not have any subcategories, then, all of these will be displayed. Sorry for the inconveniences. I have added to our list of improvements and we hope to fix it in near future updates. If you want to delete them, you can check the following topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-delete-the-categories-list-in-mobile-theme/

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Catalin, thanks for the reply. The fix works but removes all of the subcategories. Is there a way to remove only those no longer being used rather than all of them? Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no option in this case.

Thank you for your understanding!
