Is there a way to exclude a category from the get_posts function?
On my index page (www.daleanthony.com) I have the 'previous posts' block but I don't want it to show any posts from the 'portfolio' category or category '8' is there any way of doing this?
Cheers.

Don't believe you are going to get there with get_posts.
Consider using the template tag, query_posts(), instead.
Assuming the category you want to exclude is 8.
<?php
query_posts("cat=-8&showposts=10");
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
...
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

i have used similar code:
<?php
if(!empty($_GET['paged']))
$paged = $_GET['paged'];
else $paged=4;
query_posts('order=ASC&cat=-403&paged='.$paged') ?>but the order ASC or DESC don't work. i visualized the post from most old. i want visualize the last post of all category excluse 403th from last post added.
i have also added &orderby=date but don't work. if you are a solution write, thank you

For me get_posts() worked fine for a simple (non-paged) list. I just put a - before the category numbers I wanted to exclude, something like:
<?php
$postslist = get_posts('category=-39,-15&numberposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=title');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
My example lists all posts not in category 39 or in category 15, sorted by title.
To sort by date, most recent first, I use something like 'category=-39,-15&orderby=date&order=DESC'.

Try that again:
<?php
$postslist = get_posts('category=-39,-15&numberposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=title');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to '<?php the_title(); ?>'"><?php the_title(); ?></a> (<?php the_date(); ?>)</li>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>This topic has been closed to new replies.
