Sometimes you might have a category or tag that you want to prevent from displaying on category list widgets, tag clouds, the post’s meta, or anywhere else for that matter. For example, in our popular blogging theme Public Opinion we use the tag featured

Today we’ll create a small plugin to help us hide a category or tag on any theme.
