Remove Specific Category From Category Menu programmatically in Magento 2

Hello Friends!!!

In this blog, we are going to learn how we can remove a specific category from the category menu at the frontend.
Here, in the following example, I have added a filter of category name to remove from the menu.
I have created a preference for the class MagentoCatalogPluginBlockTopmenu
Please follow the below steps to achieve the desired result.

Step1: Create di.xml file inside the app/code/embronic/CustomModule/etc/ directory.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**
* embronic Software.
*
* @category embronic
* @package embronic_CustomModule
* @author embronic Software Private Limited
* @copyright embronic Software Private Limited (https://embronic.com)
* @license https://store.embronic.com/license.html
*/
-->
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<preference for="MagentoCatalogPluginBlockTopmenu"
type="embronicCustomModulePluginCatalogBlockTopmenu"/>
</config>

Step2: Now, create the Topmenu.php file inside the app/code/embronic/CustomModule/Plugin/Catalog/Block/ directory.

<?php
/**
* embronic Software.
*
* @category embronic
* @package embronic_CustomModule
* @author embronic Software Private Limited
* @copyright embronic Software Private Limited (https://embronic.com)
* @license https://store.embronic.com/license.html
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
 
namespace embronicCustomModulePluginCatalogBlock;
 
use MagentoCatalogModelCategory;
use MagentoFrameworkDataCollection;
use MagentoFrameworkDataTreeNode;
use MagentoCatalogModelResourceModelCategoryStateDependentCollectionFactory;
 
/**
* Plugin for top menu block
*/
class Topmenu extends MagentoCatalogPluginBlockTopmenu
{
/**
* @var StateDependentCollectionFactory
*/
private $collectionFactory;
 
/**
* Initialize dependencies.
*
* @param MagentoCatalogHelperCategory $catalogCategory
* @param StateDependentCollectionFactory $categoryCollectionFactory
* @param MagentoStoreModelStoreManagerInterface $storeManager
* @param MagentoCatalogModelLayerResolver $layerResolver
* @return void
*/
public function __construct(
MagentoCatalogHelperCategory $catalogCategory,
StateDependentCollectionFactory $categoryCollectionFactory,
MagentoStoreModelStoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
MagentoCatalogModelLayerResolver $layerResolver
) {
$this->catalogCategory = $catalogCategory;
$this->collectionFactory = $categoryCollectionFactory;
$this->storeManager = $storeManager;
$this->layerResolver = $layerResolver;
 
parent::__construct(
$catalogCategory,
$categoryCollectionFactory,
$storeManager,
$layerResolver
);
}
 
/**
* Get Category Tree
*
* @param int $storeId
* @param int $rootId
* @return MagentoCatalogModelResourceModelCategoryCollection
* @throws MagentoFrameworkExceptionLocalizedException
*/
protected function getCategoryTree($storeId, $rootId)
{
/** @var MagentoCatalogModelResourceModelCategoryCollection $collection */
$collection = $this->collectionFactory->create();
$collection->setStoreId($storeId);
$collection->addAttributeToSelect('name');
 
////add category name filter////
$collection->addAttributeToFilter('name', ["neq"=>"Shoes"]);
///////
 
$collection->addFieldToFilter('path', ['like' => '1/' . $rootId . '/%']); //load only from store root
$collection->addAttributeToFilter('include_in_menu', 1);
$collection->addIsActiveFilter();
$collection->addNavigationMaxDepthFilter();
$collection->addUrlRewriteToResult();
$collection->addOrder('level', Collection::SORT_ORDER_ASC);
$collection->addOrder('position', Collection::SORT_ORDER_ASC);
$collection->addOrder('parent_id', Collection::SORT_ORDER_ASC);
$collection->addOrder('entity_id', Collection::SORT_ORDER_ASC);
 
return $collection;
}
}

Now, look into the first image in which category Shoes is being displayed in the menu. And in the second image, the category Shoes is removed from the menu.
