Overview
By default, all categories are displayed as filtering options in catalog navigation.
However, some categories are intended exclusively for internal use or landing pages. In such cases, displaying them as filters may be unnecessary or inconsistent with the store’s strategy.
This documentation will guide you through the process of removing a category from appearing as a filter in other categories or landing pages. <br>
Access Restrictions
Please note that filter settings are not available for sub-admin accounts.
If you need to remove a category from the filter listing and do not have the necessary permissions, please open a ticket through the Support Panel requesting either access to the function or that our support team handle the configuration for you.
