You can see some examples here:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/design-elements/#gd_categories
When the default image is used, it is also shown in the same place as the icon or map icon.
gd_categories doesn’t have any options to hide a specific category, and the individual categories don’t have an ID so, custom css would need to select a child and isn’t a great solution and the example below would really need more customization by you on your site.
#ds-container > div.container > div > div.col-lg-8.col-md-9 > div > article > div > div:nth-child(10) > div > div.gd-cptcat-row.gd-cptcat-gd_place > ul:nth-child(5) {
display: none;
}
We are planning improvements for this element for future versions and will consider adding IDs so hiding one is easier.
Thanks for writing in with your question!
