I have a category about the catalog, news1 Which I use to get a post on the main page. The problem is that I don't want the news1 category name to appear in these posts, but I want other categories to be displayed.
How can I do this?

Reset to default 0First of all, I wouldn't recommend to use categories to show posts anywhere. Such approach has many consequences (it creates category archive, feeds, and so on).
But if you already have such solution, then you can use get_the_categories filter and remove given category from the list.
add_filter( 'get_the_categories', function ( $categories, $id ) {
foreach ( $categories as $i => $term ) {
if ( <ID_OF_CATEGORY_TO_IGNORE> == $term->term_id ) {
unset( $categories[$i] );
}
}
return $categories;
}, 10, 2 );
Just make the category status "private". It should do the job and will not be visible publicly
