[wp-hackers] Best Way of Excluding Categories from wp_list_categories

[Aaron Harun]

In one of my old plugins I had to do this. You have to hook into the
get_terms hook. I used the following code. (The code was from 2.1 and
I updated it to 2.3 from memory so it may not be perfect.)

add_filter('get_categories', 'filter_categories');

function filter_categories ($input_categories,$type)
global  $good_cats;

	if($type == 'category'){
		return $input_categories;
	}

	$filtered_results = array();
	foreach($input_categories as $result){
		if(in_array($result->term_id,$good_cats,true) && $result->term_id !='' ){
			array_push($filtered_results, $result);
		}
	}

	return $filtered_results;
}

$good_cats is an array of category ids that you DO want. You can
reverse the check to check for something not in the array.
