Thanks Jade,

Strangely, I was able to get it to work the proper way (item shows with direct link, but not in the sideboxes, searches, or in new items). But the workaround was strange. I had to first make the category hidden using HideCategories. Then turn the category off completely (giving a red icon). Then go into the category and manually turn on the 2 products in there (green icon). After that, and reloading the page, the category stopped showing up in the CherryZen sidebox and the items don't come up in searches or new products, but they still work for a direct link.

BTW, thanks again for your great contribution. Your template has greatly helped my site look very nice. Here it is:
