Create Hidden Categories in Magento 2.0

Hidden categories are categories that are not displayed neither in the main menu nor anywhere else on your website. Why would you need them?

Mostly, hidden categories are for internal purposes. Some create them to give a link to a category that is not included in the navigation menu.

To hide a category, go to Products > Categories

Then on the left select a category you want to hide.

To completely hide and deactivate a Category, do the following steps:

  • Switch “Is Active” to “No” in General Settings.
