   hi all,

   Wondering if there is an easy way to exclude posts from a category?

   Regards

   Here's one way, there are quite a few...

   Find this line within the loop in your main index.php file:

   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   Just after that line, paste this line (change the 14 to your category ID number):

   <?php if ( !(in_category('14')) ) { ?>

   After that, you will then need to find this line:

   <?php endwhile; ?>

   And just before that line, paste this:

   <?php } ?>

   hmm, I see what you mean and it works for excluding the category but now it never shows.

   I mean even when I click the category navigation it doesn't show the posts or when I point to a specific post within that category. Any suggestion how to fix this??

   It sounds like your theme only has the index.php?

   Have a look at Template_Hierarchy. I'd suggest making a category.php page, essentially as a copy of your index.php, but without the filtering.

   @HandySolo, tx you help me out quit good

   Indeed I have only the index.php

   I added up using
   if (in_category('6') && is_home() ) continue;

   and a category-6.php file.

   tx,

   ps: how to put a resolved tag on this thread??

   There's a little pulldown at the very top of this thread. Just change it to "Resolved"
