Hi, I upgraded to 3.1 and the plugin that I had been using to filter certain categories from my home page (Ultimate Category Excluder) has stopped working, all categories appear on the home page now. I've tried several other similar plugins to no avail. I've even tried adding filtering code as descibed here:
http://blogmum.com/2009/04/how-to-exclude-categories-from-the-home-page-of-your-wordpress-blog/
I've disabled all plugins and switched to stock Twenty Ten theme.
I got this problem too. I subscribed to this thread. Thanks!

So any option to fix it?

There are a couple of patches to fix the issue.
You can also use this code in your theme's functions.php as a workaround:
function disable_parsed_tax_query_check($wp_query) {
$wp_query->parsed_tax_query = false;
}
add_action('parse_query', 'disable_parsed_tax_query_check');

I'm having a problem (same one as in this thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-one-category-not-working-in-31-beta?replies=2 ) that I think is growing out of the same issue.
The plugin (Just One Category) that used to make it possible to show posts in a parent category, without the posts from that parent category's children categories, on an archive page, no longer works.
Since the 3.1 upgrade, when Just One Category is activated, you get no posts at all on any Category archive pages. None. When you deactivate Just One Category, you get the Category Archive pages working, but pages for a parent category show all the posts from that category AND all the posts from that category's children.
Neither putting the code above into functions.php nor the patches have any effect. So maybe this is a totally separate problem?
Does seem that there is something generally different about the way 3.1 deals with categories...and several different plugins that interact in some way with categories are no longer working.

Same problem following the upgrade. I contacted planetmike.com, who is going to look over the problem this weekend.

I'm also having this problem but am not using any of the mentioned plugins (or any others that mess with my categories in any way). Subscribed to thread and hope we can find a solution :)

Same problem here with query_posts and the "'cat' => SOMENUMBER"-argument.
Posted 2 years ago #
query_posts( 'cat=-XX,-XX,-XX' );
Put this on functions.php
the XX is the category ID number that you whant to exclude

Hi Downtuga. This is basically what my query_posts does, but it does no longer work. It stopped working after the upgrade to 3.1. Before that, it worked perfectly fine. No matter whether I made the call like this
$args = array ( 'something' => something )
query_posts($args)or like this
query_posts('cat=1').

here's a simple fix to try... the hotfix plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hotfix/
it is maintained with bugfixes for the current version of WP, so if your problem is related to that, it's worth a try

Installed and activated. Still no luck...

I've also tried this mkalina. I'm having the issue on 2 sites. One that doesn't use any plugins at all.
Any way to roll back a version of WordPress?

It's fixed! Go over to site (http://www.planetmike.com/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/) and download it under the "Installation" heading. It doesn't say it is updated, but it is, so just download & re-install.

I wonder if planetmike could be persuaded to explain what he did to fix the problem, so we could apply to other plugins having the same issue?
Posted 2 years ago #
Sorry, but that plugin didnt work either. I'm not trying to exclude any categories. I'm just trying to list them using /category/XX_catXname_XX/.

Oh my, I found the error in my case: I used the "Just one Category"-plugin that caused these troubles!

The plugin of planetmike does work!
Posted 2 years ago #
but with only one category :(

Hi everyone. Yes, I found out the same day (Feb 24) that Ultimate Category Excluder was only working with one category at a time. I fixed that bug. Please let me know if you have any trouble with my plugin now. Thanks, Mike
And yes, UCE is now in the WordPress plugin directory, so you'll get notifications if I have to release an upgrade in the future.

Hi Michael,
In my site (http://blog.delarepublica.cl) we use your plugin. We have a query_posts to show only "reccomended" articles (at the bottom left). As you can see, that is empty now. If I deactivate your plugin, the problem goes away.
Any ideas?

Hi Raghos,
Are you creating a separate query to pull in those "reccomended" articles? And you are using UCE to keep that category from showing up elsewhere? I'm guessing the two queries are clashing, since they are being told to do opposite things. Your query says to show those posts, the UCE plugin is saying to not show those posts. mmm. Let me think. Can you pull in your recommended posts via the RSS feed instead? Mike

Sergey Biryukov patch works for me.
