Why Categorize when you have Post Kinds and Tags – Disabling categories in WordPress

Consider putting all your changes in a child theme. Look at my child theme as an example.

add to functions.php in your theme:

function dougbeal_unregister_categories() {
    register_taxonomy( 'category', array() );
}
add_action( 'init', 'dougbeal_unregister_categories' );
unregister_widget( 'WP_Widget_Categories' );
