   Is there a way to create a feed that does not include posts from a certain category? What I'm trying to do is set up two feeds, one with critical notices and one with everything else. The critical is easy, it's just /category/feed/. But the everything else feed would include the critical category as well and I don't want it to.

   Thanks,

   This plugin, if it works with your version, has that feature: you can exclude a cat from the feeds.

   A technique I've used in the past can be found at

   HandySolo: I'm trying to use the Zeo technique mentioned above, but my theme did not come with a functions.php file.

   I created one:
   

   function myFilter($query) {
   	if ($query->is_feed) {
   		$query->set('cat','-4');
   	}
   
   return $query;
   }
   
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','myFilter');

   Unfortunately, it is having the effect of breaking the WP post editor! When I try to save a post, a page of errors results as follows:

   Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.goomba/calyxdesign/calyxdesign.com/wp-content/themes/modern/functions.php:15) in /home/.goomba/calyxdesign/calyxdesign.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 390

   I don't even know if it's working on the RSS feed, because I can't create a post to test it.

   Any idea as to what's happening here?
