1. Use any web browser to open any standard Caliber web site. Mine is here. (Be sure you're not using the mobile view.)
2. In the brown banner on top of any page is a button which says this:
→ home ←
Clicking on that → home ← button takes you to the page called the "Home" page, hence my calling it the "Home page".
3. Once you're on that home page you will see a line clearly saying this:
"Choose a category to browse by:"
4. What is listed below that line are the "categories" of which I speak.

THOSE categories, which appear automatically because I have created certain custom columns, have among them ones which I don't want displayed on that page. Mine currently shows all of these:
  1. Newest
  2. All books
  3. Random book
  4. Virtual Libs.
  5. Authors
  6. Book Series
  7. DDC
  8. Formats
  9. Genre
  10. JOBS
  11. Languages
  12. LCC
  13. LCEAD
  14. OCLC_OWIO
  15. Publisher
  16. Rating
  17. Searches
  18. Series
  19. Suggested Topics
  20. Tags
I wish, on that page only, to suppress these categories so visitors don't see them on the Home page:
  1. Virtual Libs.
  2. DDC
  3. JOBS
  4. LCC
  5. LCEAD
  6. OCLC_OWIO
...and I want to do so without affection anything else.


Bonus question: My "News" category isn't showing, due to the tweak someone told me to use to automatically put the news items which Calibre automatically downloads online. Apparently I have to set the Yes/No switch to Yes manually for the news icon/category to appear, but I don't want to do anything manually. It should be automated AND show the news icon/category to visitors.
That is on the Content Server Home page

There is a tweak to suppress some custom columns
Preferences: Tweaks: ID: content_server_will_display

For any other, you are going to have to Hack Your Own , putting the hacked version in the configuration folder (same relationship to the main program folder). This way, the customizations are not overwritten during updates. See the FAQ http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/#customizing-calibre
