This is intentional, as an empty homepage is not a typical user scenario. You can hide the categories label via custom CSS, or custom JS if you want to hide it only when there are no categories.
Is it possible to force new users to register by their phone numbers?!

We don't need to store phone numbers. It should work as a verification step.
Any idea? -
Tricky, but not impossible...
You'd need:
- a plugin to add a phone # field to the registration step
- upon registration, send SMS or otherwise manually verify the phone number
- upon verification, add user to a user group that has posting access to your categories, etc.

Email confirmation is a method for confirming user's email! Emails should be valid for future operations such as: mail notifications, newsletters, replying to posts from email, etc.
Phone verification make the process of confirming account stronger. It may also be a replacement for (re)Captcha.
Now, I was thinking about storing numbers such as Telegram, Viber and Whatsapp: It can be a method to have valid users! Some people make fake accounts for trolling. This can stop them a little! They should purchase more SIM cards to create more accounts

In some countries its actually really easy to get ahold of a SIM card. I'm from Malaysia and when I go there I can get a throwaway SIM card from any convenience store in about 10 minutes for a couple bucks
EDIT: Meanwhile in Canada.... :rage1:

They're free in the UK, but need an initial top up to activate, £1 would do this on some networks.
