| Aug 11, 2016 at 10:14 | comment | added | cybmeta | Totally agree with @MarkKaplun, it seems to me that you are trying to force a content structure and classification conceptually wrong, and therefore, trying to force the classification and content management system to work in a way it was not intended. That is why I'm asking for the description of the use case. I suggest you to rethink the content structure in your website. | |
| Aug 11, 2016 at 10:05 | comment | added | gulliver | I don't use categories in normal posts/pages - everything is assigned to a default 'misc'. For one project using a third-party app which can apply bulk protection to categories but not (without paid modification) custom taxonomies, I wanted to make selected categories available to a CPT. Having only selected categories available reduces chance of an item being assigned to an inappropriate category. I can use css to hide the unwanted categories, but prefer a non-css workaround. | |
