Exclude a Category from Hueman Index-Page

Hey,

Just add the following code block into the functions.php file which can be found in your theme’s directory. Change the CAT_NR with the ID of the category that you want to exclude from homepage – keep the minus sign there, it is necessary. You can find the ID of the category from the Categories page in your WP Admin Dashboard – Click the category you want and then read your browser’s URL bar, there will be something like tag_ID=123. That number is the ID.

function excludeCat($query) {
  if ( $query->is_home ) {
    $query->set('cat', '-CAT_NR');
  }
  return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');

@can Thank you! Worked also for me!

Hello 🙂

I need to exclude category only from related posts (“You may also like”) at the bottom of the page. Could somebody help me with this?

Original theme code looks like this:

// Related by categories
		if ( ot_get_option('related-posts') == 'categories' ) {

			$cats = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'related-cat', true);

			if ( !$cats ) {
				$cats = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID, array('fields'=>'ids'));
				$args['category__in'] = $cats;
			} else {
				$args['cat'] = $cats;
			}
		}

Greetings,
Adrian
