Parsing [post_categories] shortcode?

[exelexys]

Would like to parse the [post_categories] shortcode to exclude certain categories.

Can anyone suggest an approach to doing this?

I think you may need to rewrite the function in genesis > lib > shorcodes > post.php Line 447 which uses get the category list unless there's a filter which there is but i don't think you can exclude categories that way.

Doesn't look like the function genesis uses includes a parameter to exclude categories so you may need to wp_list_categories

Might be another solution but that's all i can think of at the moment.

Wanted to avoid that, and thankfully was able to by using this as inspiration to use CSS, and more specifically, an attribute selector to hide selected categories based on the partial value of the title attribute of the anchor tag:

.categories a[title$="StringEndingAttributeValue"] {
	display: none;
}

Thanks!
