How to hide one of the October Rainlab Blog categories? One of the categories should not be displayed in the Categories List on page. I want to use one hidden category only for filtering and display special posts on HomePage. Any ideas?

I am not sure what do you mean by "hide" here. but I guess you Don't want to Display it on Front-end (by Default)
You can extend Category model to do that.
if you have relative plugin / or / create your own plugin and in Plugin.php file define/override boot method and you can define something like this
use App;
use October\Rain\Database\Builder;
[...other code ...]
public function boot(){
\RainLab\Blog\Models\Category::extend(function($model) {
// App::runningInBackend() you can also use this one to make sure it will
// execute on frontend only
if(!App::runningInBackend()) {
$model::addGlobalScope('id', function(Builder $builder) {
$builder->where('id', '!=', 2);
});
}
});
}
Now, at the front-end side it will not show the categorie which is having id => 2
May be this can help you and If you need anything else please comment. For plugin related details you can check here : https://octobercms.com/docs/plugin/registration

Select multiple IDs of categories. Example.
use App;
use October\Rain\Database\Builder;
[...other code ...]
public function boot(){
\RainLab\Blog\Models\Category::extend(function($model) {
// App::runningInBackend() you can also use this one to make sure it will
// execute on frontend only
if(!App::runningInBackend()) {
$model::addGlobalScope('id', function(Builder $builder) {
$builder->where([
['id', '!=', 2],
['id', '!=', 3],
['id', '!=', 4]
]);
});
}
});
}
Now will not show the categories which is having id => 2,3,4
