How to Comment Out a Subcategory Link in Magento's Default Sidebar

Question

This is my first post here!

I'm only posting this question because I have researched but cannot find the answer I need here or anywhere else.

So, I'm trying to simply comment out a specific Subcategory link in the default sidebar of a Magento site.

And I need to do this from the Magento Admin panel without digging into the code if possible.

I only want people who have the link to be able to get to the page. So this is why I don't want it showing up in the sidebar.

• If this requires an extension, please let me know.

• Or if this can only be done by getting into the code. Just let me know. I read somewhere the following is how you do it:

/app/design/frontend/default/YOUR_THEME/template/page . At around line 50 you'll see the <div class="col-left sidebar"> line.

Ideally, I'd like to log into the Magento Admin area > find sidebar links > comment out the above indicated link.

If you need any more details please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

In the admin panel navigate to Catalog > Manage Categories, select the category and change "Include in navigation" to "No".
