I have been trying to run the loop without a category showing up within it, however get no response because the category_id or '&cat=-3' function is not working. Is there a way around this? It is probably something simple...

Posted 1 year ago #I still am having trouble finding what number corresponds to what category that belongs in the '&cat=-3'. How do you know what a category's number is now that the category id's have been removed from the page?
This seems simple, I am just not figuring it out.
