How to remove duplicate category widget?

Question

Categories are repeated in the sidebar, in the Donut theme.

Answer 1

The category list was converted to a widget in Q2A 1.8, so it can be moved around on the sidebar. So if any custom themes override the sidepanel function you'll need to remove this line:

$this->nav('cat', 1);

For the Donut theme it's line 424 according to the GitHub repo.

Then you can add the category widget in Admin > Layout, and it will be the same on different themes.
