   I have this Most Recent Posts part in my template.
   Now i need to exclude some categorys in this part, but i dont know how to do it.

   The part that controlls this looks like this,

   <div style="float:left;width:463px;">
   				<h2 class="img_title h2"><span><?php echo OnePanelLanguage::GetText( 'most_recent' ); ?></span></h2>
   				<ul>
   					<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   I have tryed to use this before "while" query_posts('cat=-7'); that works, but the problems is that i have chosen to show 4 posts, and then when clicking to get to the next page of posts then the same posts appear.

   So does anyone know how to fix this?

   Thanks

   Try this with query_posts:

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=-7&paged=$paged");

   This is a poorly documented part of wordpress - you need to pass a variable to control the paging, or you get stuck on page 1.

   That should be a regular ampersand in there - the forum editor converted it into an entity

   Does anyone know how to fix this issue and get the code to work?

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=-7&paged=$paged");

   see the & in the second line? Change that to a normal ampersand (&) -- this forum's code editor is translating it for some odd reason.

   Yes i have done that but it does not work anyway with the pagnation or what it is called.

   I still get the same posts on every page.

   Why are you deleting my post all the time?

   If no one can help me here, does anyone know where to turn with this issue?

    Hi Granit - the code I posted was just a snippet to address what sounded like the key problem. Can you show me how you incorporated my code into yours?

    I have done like this, i am not that good when it comes to this and put the code where i tough it should be.

    <div style="float:left;width:463px;">
    				<h2 class="img_title h2"><span><?php echo OnePanelLanguage::GetText( 'most_recent' ); ?></span></h2>
    				<ul>
    					<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts("cat=-7&amp;;paged=$paged"); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    If necessary, post the whole template (all the code) in a pastebin and report the link back here.

    Sorry for all of my post, but this is really frustration that no one can help out on this. I really tough that there would be some expertise here that would know a little bit of wordpress code.

    And since i don´t have any place to turn to this was my last option.

    I would be very glade is someone could point me in the direction of a place where one could get some support on this mater.

    And i hope that the moderator don´t delete my post.

    Your pastebin code looks mostly fine to me - you've correctly put the query_posts call before the Loop. I think it's just a small typo causing the problem - you've got an extra semicolon after the ampersand (right before paged=$paged). Sorry, I would simply put the correct line here, but the forum editor would just muck with my ampersand again.

    Also, I'd recommend less agitation in how you're phrasing your requests here. Most folks in the forums (like me) aren't getting paid to be here. I've actually just recently begun helping out. It's one thing to get agitated if you're paying for support; it's another when people are here making a community effort.

    excuse the small digression:

    Well said.
    To my knowledge, nobody is paid to be here. We're all freely volunteering our time.

    @Granit -- you're welcome to hire support if the volunteer support makes you unhappy. Try the WordPress Jobs or the WP-Pro's mailing list.

    Thank you so very much for that, now it works like it should and i huge stone is lifted from my head.

    I am sorry if i have offended someone, and it was not my intention to offend anyone and i see you point.

    But this almost killed me and i am sorry for again.

    If i need any more help down the road i will keep the tone down and i totally see your point in this.

    I also hope to learn wordpress my self both for me own satisfaction, but also in order to help other.

    And again, thank you so much for the help.
