   I'm currently using the code below to exclude a category from the homepage.

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if (is_home()) if (in_category('32')) continue; ?>

   Lets say I show 10 posts per page, if any of the latest 10 posts are from the category I'm excluding - they dont show. Cool. Great. BUT the full 10 posts wont show either. It's like if 3 of the last 10 posts are from the excluded category, only 7 posts will show. If the next page doesn't in include any posts from the excluded category then it shows 10 posts again.

   I hope that made sense...

   I'd like to always show the right # of posts and still exclude certain category posts - is that possible?

   Thanks in advance,

   nando

   Assuming that you're trying to exclude any pages from cat 32 from the home page, try:
   

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   if (in_category('32')) continue;

   You don't need the is_home in index.php.

   sorry for the delay in response...

   I just tried:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if (in_category('14')) continue; ?>

   It shows all posts except posts from category 14 like its suppose to but it still does the same thing.... If its a category I post in alot - the home page looks weird with only like 4 posts...

   Any additional help is appreciated...

   thanks in advance...

   This example should honor your pagination:
