WordPress.org

Yet another issue I am sure requires only a simply fix. ATTEMPTING to exclude some categories from appearing in the sidebar. Used a plug-in that did nothing but remove the excluded category posts from the main section. And then did the following:

<ul>
<?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1&exclude=11, 12, 13, 14, 15'); ?>
</ul>

In the sidebar.php. It did nothing

Then did:

<div id="category"> <li class="sidebar-spacer"></li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
<ul><?php list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,'','','orderby=name&show_count=1&exclude=11, 12, 13, 14, 15','','') ?></ul>
</li>
</div>

In sidebar.php. Did nothing.

HELP?

I think you had it right the first time, but probably remove the spaces, so it looks like this

&exclude=8,9,7,19

Nope. That did not do it. Grrr... This makes no sense.

Is your theme using the sidebar widgets? In that case no editing has any effect: everything that is hardcoded in your sidebar is over-written by the widgets.

You are editing the right file? And it is not a widget in the sidebar?

Ah...buggering hell...it is indeed a widget. All I need do is remove the widget?

I do have this in the sidebar.php:

<div id="category"> <li class="sidebar-spacer">
