I am excluding categories from my main page, rss and trying to exclude it from my archives drop down menu...
I am using the Category Visibility plugin (http://www.gudlyf.com/archives/2005/03/08/wordpress-plugin-category-visibility) and for some reason it doesn't exclude the category from my archives...
Has anyone had that problem?

Depending on what template tag you're using:

See the info on the 'exclude' parameter.
Don't know a way to exclude them from an archive listing.

I'm having the same problem. Doesn't exclude from archives, kind of annoying.

Yeah, it is driving me crazy. It is the last thing I need to do before I go live with my site and it is taking forever to figure out.
Anyone have any hacks or fixes?

Try this plugin:

I'm so far into the other plug-in that I can't switch now.
I guess i need something that in my dropdown menu for my categories it says display the archives from this 1 category and ignore all the others.
Is that possible?

Has anyone ever heard of this happening before and resolved it?
You can see what the problem is on the drop down menu on the right of the page here: http://www.steadyvibe.com
You will notice that there are a lot of archives that are not on the home page blog, they are from the inside pages that are in different categories. I would like only the home page entries to show up on the home page drop down archives.

everything works fine and dandy until I click on an archive link (like "april 2006")...when I do that all my categories disappear. Instead it says "no categories." Any ideas?

Make a template for your archive and use a query at the top of the page, i.e.
<?php query_posts('cat=-1'); ?>
which excludes category 1 from the page. Much better than a plugin IMHO!

For the life of me, I cannot get query_posts to work correctly on an archive page. The site in question is casperelectronics. I have two categories on this site: 'casperstuff' and 'press'. I do NOT want any 'press' entries showing on the archive pages. I'm placing this code at the top of my archive.php page:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("cat=-3&paged=$paged");
where category 3 is 'press'. That should get every post except the Press posts, and the paging should then work correctly, based on info I found in this thread: getting previous/next links to work with query_posts.
However, although this works on the homepage of the site, using query_posts seems to break the archive page(s). Is the answer on this page and I'm just not seeing it? Thanks for any help.
I have the same problem with archives too, can anyone help?
