[plugin alphas-categories-widget] – Bug: excluuding doesn’t seem to work

I second that … I only need to exclude one category and it’s not excluding what I entered. Is there a specific way I need to add a category to exclude it? I’ve tried the slug and the name ~ neither works?

Hey everyone,

I ran into this trouble too, and as PressingIt says you need the cat_ID number.

How do you get that? Just go to Posts > Categories and hover your mouse over the category you want to exclude. Look at the bottom of the browser window and you’ll see the URL telling you what the category ID is.

Just put that number into the “exclude” textbox, and you’re set! More than one you can just separate with commas.
