   My functions.php file contains a query modifier for the homepage to exclude categories that I don't want appearing there. With the 3.1 upgrade this is somehow broken now. Can anyone tell me why? Here's what my code looks like in functions.php

   <?php
   function myFilter($query) {
   	if ($query->is_home) {
   		$query->set('cat','-1,-11,-12,-4,-23,-24');
   	}
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','myFilter');
   ?>

   Some category excluder plugins such as Ultimate Category Excluder may be broken as well. That one is actually a bug: Trac Ticket
   The Hotfix plugin now has a fix that might help: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hotfix/

   Thanks lpstenu. In the Trac Ticket link I found a solution, posted below for anyone with similar issues.

   <?php
   function exclude_category($query) {
   	if ( $query->is_home ) {
   		$query->set('category__not_in', array(1,11,12,4,23,24));
   	}
   	return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
   ?>
