   Hi all,

   I try to exclude a category from my "categories widget". Where and how can I do this? Can't find a file that controles the category list and where I can exclude a catt.

   Thnx

   Found this link searching your post title in google. Give the plugin mentioned there a shot.

   thnx for the quick reply. I also found several plugins, but I prefer code. After searching for a while, I found the following code, which should be placed in MYTHEME/functions.php.

   <?php
   function exclude_widget_categories($args){
   $exclude = "3,6,18"; // The IDs of the excluding categories
   $args["exclude"] = $exclude;
   return $args;
   }
   add_filter("widget_categories_args","exclude_widget_categories");
   ?>
