    Instead of category_name, just use cat. You can exclude category #4 like so: cat=-4

    But this excludes posts that belong to a category. What if I have a post that belongs to another “main” category but also belongs to the excluded category as a secondary category.

    Is there any way to use “cat” as a secondary category only?

    Thanks.

    I am trying to do something similar with an algorithm I thought would be able to be flexible enough to allow arbitrary exclusions. It used to work in 2.5.1 but seems broken in 2.6.

    I posted a help topic about this but have yet to receive feedback. Maybe the answer to my problem will also help you?
