Blog post category

Blog post categories appear to be optional - and I really do not want to use categories for blog posts.
Category: you can choose a category for the Post. As for the Author field, you can type the name of a new category or select one from the list.
And you don't have to use a category when creating blog posts.
So, if I don't use a category, how can I view and delete comments? The admin page will allow me to select the "blank" category, but the "Select Post" list box does not appear:
Please help...
Thanks in advance

Hello.You are right, you can not specify a category, but then you do not see your blog posts in the admin panel.
If you want to see your blog posts in the admin panel, then you need to specify a category. But you can hide the category on the site.
Hi Peter,
I confirm you can follow Aleksej's useful suggestion. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
Kind regards.

Hi Aleksej
Thanks, for this. Can you please tell me how I hide the category on the Settings/Advanced/Blog/Article page? It appears to be a "clickable link" and I need to get rid of it.
Thank you :)

Try this:

Yes, I did that previously. But as mentioned previously, it still places the category as a clickable link on the "Blog Article" page :(
It would not be too bad if it were not a hyperlink, but I haven't found a way to change it.

Hi Peter,
do you mean here?
Please consider that it is not possible to remove the label there, but if you don't want to report a category you can simply skip that part. If you have set on Main Page that the Element "Category" must not shown, it should not be displayed on the Article Page: do you see it anyway?
Thanks! Kind regards.
Add this to Advanced Settings - Statistics, SEO and Code - Code:
<style>
.imBreadcrumb {
display: none !important;
}
</style>

Hi Elisa
It is not possible to leave the "Category" field empty - if it is empty, then it does not display on the Admin page.
Setting the Category to not display on the "Main" page does not affect the setting of the "Article" page where it is still displayed.
X5 settings: 1. Settings/Advanced/Blog/Main Page/Elements
Web site blog main page:
Web site blog article page:
Note that the category "Uncategorised" is a clickable link :(

Hi Aleksej
Well, thaks for taking the time and understanding my problem and providing a fix :)
I have no idea what that code is doing to other pages, but it certainly fixes the Blog Article page fault.
Thank you
Peter
