Post in two Categories – exclude one when displaying

    Many of my posts are members of two categories. “Featured (id 2)” and “Specific category(id 3,4 etc)”. The Featured ones get shown on the homepage.

    I want to show a list of latest posts per category when reading the post, but not show all the Featured ones, because featured ones can be in other categories too.

    I am using this: categorypage=”yes” id=’-2′

    However, since the post is member of 2 and 3, it is not excluding posts from 2.

    any ideas?

    thanks

    Solved:

    It’s not elegant but this is ONE way that works: 

    <?
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
    $thiscat= $category->cat_ID ;
$thiscat= $thiscat.",";
$thiscat = preg_replace('/(?<=^|,)\b2\b(?=,|$)/', '', $thiscat);
}
?>

    Shortcode: <? echo do_shortcode("[catlist id='".$thiscat."']");?>

    If you know a lighter code let me know!
