   Hi
   I wondered if anyone could help me regarding the loop. I'm displaying custom meta on posts and in the excerpt (see below). However there are some posts in particular categories where I dont want this to show. Can I put a conditional query at all in the loop?

   Thankyou very much in advance

   See loop below, the example page is

   there are conditional tags, in your case possibly in_category()

   great thanks, i thought so much.

   There is only one or two categories where i dont want them to show on posts. Is there a way of using this conditional tag, but stating:

   If in a certain category do NOT show rather than do show? As there's quie a few categories on the site?

   Also where would this go in the following line of code?
   <div class="meta"><b>Region: </b><?php $key="Region"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></div>

   try:

   <?php if( !in_category('certain') ) { ?>
   <div class="meta"><b>Region: </b><?php $key="Region"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></div>
   <?php } ?>

   clear text: if NOT in_category then show 'region'

   one more thing if i wanted to exclude from 2 categories would it be just ('certain', 'certain1') for example?

   thanks
