   Hi. I'm upgrading to 2.0 and can't seem to find a way to hide posts from one category on the main page. Any ideas? Thanks.

   In your main page index.php, ther is a loop for presenting your latest posts. It starts something like this:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   Immediately below that line, if you put this condition:

   <?php if ( !(in_category('4')) || !is_home() ) { ?>

   you will exclude posts from category number 4 form sjowing up on the main page.

   What it says is:
   If it is not from category 4 or if it is not on the main page, display it.

   ( is_home = true for the main page )

   Hi. I've tried that and I get a parse error on that line. Is there another way to do this?

   Did you close the if-statement with <?php }; ?> ?

   Why don't you just use the private feature on the post/edit page?

   It's not so easy to just copy and paste code from the forum, and each theme may use the loop a little differently.

   A full explanation of the method I tried to introduce can be found in The Loop, here.

   Good luck!
