Remove Categories from sidebar

[Dominika]

Hello, 

I purchased WHMCS 2 days ago and Im having a really hard time customising it as most of the hooks used in the past don't work anymore so most of the previous posts on forums etc are a bit useless. 

I want to remove "Categories" from secondary sidebar, I found this but it doesnt work.... 

I appreciate your help in advance! I added this to includes/hooks/chsidebar.php

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $SecondarySidebar)
{
   if(!is_null($SecondarySidebar->getChild('Categories'))){
               $SecondarySidebar->removeChild('Categories');
   }
}); 

?>

your code works for me...

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $SecondarySidebar) {
	
	if (!is_null($SecondarySidebar->getChild('Categories'))){
		$SecondarySidebar->removeChild('Categories');
	}
});

I can verify that the provided code works on my test installs as well. If it does not work on yours, despite putting it in a PHP file in the /includes/hooks folder as described, please ensure that your website isn't behind a caching service that is unexpected caching the HTML output of PHP pages and may be causing this as a result.

If that doesn't help or apply, please feel free to reach out to our support team via https://www.whmcs.com/submit-a-ticket/ and we can investigate this further.
