   I have been reading some things in the Codex, but am not so php savy...

   I have a sidebar link
   <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
   that needs to exclude one category.
   I see in the Codex
   query_posts('cat=-3');

   How do I combine these?

   Thanks

   Hi,

   Open wp-includes/widgets.php file at your local and edit it..you need to do it as these:

   Find this line:
   $d = $options[$number]['dropdown'] ? '1' : '0';

   Add this line below this line:
   $ex = "1,2,3";

   1,2,3 are the categories which you would like to exclude..

   Find this line:
   $cat_args = array('orderby' => 'name', 'show_count' => $c, 'hierarchical' => $h);

   replace with:
   $cat_args = array('orderby' => 'name', 'show_count' => $c, 'hierarchical' => $h, 'exclude' => $ex );

   Save the file and upload it on the server again..you can replace the category ID with your desired one..

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&exclude=10&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
   exclude=10, 10 being the category ID number you want to exclude

   edit-I would not recommend edit of core WP files. In addition, when you upgrade your WP installation, such edit will be written over.

   Thanks! (just wonder why I wasn't notified of your post)
   Can you also tell me how to have only one category displayed on the homepage?
