Removing categories from the Search page

PhilCorleyPhoto

I am trying to remove some of the categories from the search page (e.g., Videos). I have tried the CSS below, but the categories still show...

/*This code will hide the GALLERIES category*/
#sm-search-category-galleries {
    display: none !important;
}
 
/*This code will hide the FOLDERS category*/
#sm-search-category-folders {
    display: none !important;
}
 
/*This code will hide the VIDEOS category*/
#sm-search-category-videos {
    display: none !important;
}

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Try this instead:

/*This code will hide the GALLERIES category*/
.sm-search-category-galleries {
    display: none !important;
}

/*This code will hide the FOLDERS category*/
.sm-search-category-folders {
    display: none !important;
}

/*This code will hide the VIDEOS category*/
.sm-search-category-videos {
    display: none !important;
}

Not certain, but I believe sm-search-category-videos are classes and not ids, so you have to refer to them with the dot-prefix and not the #-prefix.
Else: you might be in the wrong CSS block - if I remember correctly these ones belong into the Theme's CSS and not one of the CSS blocks directly in your customization-menu.

Good luck

Hmm, still not working. I have added this to the Theme's CSS (Customise, Content & Design, Theme, settings, Advanced, CSS) and they still show

Any other ideas ?

Thanks

I was wrong about it being a class, it actually is an id you are trying to remove...so the # needs to replace the . again.

And here is a complete description of how to do it: https://portal.photom.me/portal/hide-individual-search-categories-search-page/ by @tomnovy

Thanks Lille; works

Now - last one. Is it possible to change the label; so I can rename Pages to Blog ? Site must be nearly done now as I am into the fine-tuning tweaks
