    Hi all,
    I want to create an additional category in our wordpress based freelance jobs website.

    I want this additional caategory to be separate from main category.

    Basically I want to create Employer and Freelancer category and add employers and freelancers profile in there in the form of regular post and I want these 2 cagtegories to be separate from the main category which we use for the jobs.

    Any idea how to do it?

    Assuming you now how to create a Category in the admin and assign that Category to a post...

    Guess you'll want to look at The Loop article to learn how to exclude posts of a certain category on your main page. Also look at the template tag, query_posts().

    You might also consider a plugin such as Advanced Category Excluder or Custom Query String Reloaded.

    Thanks Michael for reply.
    I think the the methods you have mentioned are little bit too complex for me.

    I thought there might be sime some simple solution but it seems without getting into coding it might not be possible.

    I think the best idea would be to hide the Employers and Freelancers category and then use code to display them separately.
