Instead of excluding categories from the_category, it enables you to show the subcatories of a specific category that your post is associated with. Use it in the loop.</p> <p><a href="http://oneserving.com/site-news/wordpress-plugin-show-post-subcategories/">http://oneserving.com/site-news/wordpress-plugin-show-post-subcategories/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/222201#post-914218 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:30:40 +0000 trex33 914218@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Someone posted this brilliant solution to exclude categories from the_category (placed in functions.php of theme).<br /> <pre><code>function the_category_filter($thelist,$separator=&#39; &#39;) { if(!defined(&#39;WP_ADMIN&#39;)) { //list the category names to exclude $exclude = array(&#39;Something&#39;,&#39;Something Else&#39;,&#39;Blah&#39;,&#39;YAY&#39;); $cats = explode($separator,$thelist); $newlist = array(); foreach($cats as $cat) { $catname = trim(strip_tags($cat)); if(!in_array($catname,$exclude)) $newlist[] = $cat; } return implode($separator,$newlist); } else return $thelist; } add_filter(&#39;the_category&#39;,&#39;the_category_filter&#39;,10,2);</code></pre> <p>Questions:<br /> 1. How can I change to this exclude by category ID instead of by category name?<br /> 2. Is there way to automatically exclude subcategories/children of the excluded categories? (i.e., without explicity listing all of the subcats) </p>
