   Hello guys,

   I'm currently working in a custom loop :
   

   <?php query_posts ($query_string.'&offset=3') ; ?>
   		<?php
   		if (have_posts()) :
   		while (have_posts()) :
   	      the_post();
   		?>
   		<!-- etc -->

   I need to add something to exclude certain category by its slug.
   I don't know how to do it.

   Many thanks for any help !

   This doesn't seems to work. I founded here :
   

   <?php query_posts ($query_string.'offset=3') ; ?>
   		<?php
   		if (have_posts()) :
   		while (have_posts()) :
   	      the_post();
   		?>
   		<?php if ( is_category('MySlugToExclude') ) continue; ?>
   		<!-- rest of the loop here -->

   I tried both : in_category and is_category, but I'm printing still what I try to exclude.

   Something like:

   <?php
   $slug = 'cat-slug-here';
   $category = get_category_by_slug($slug);
   query_posts($query_string . '&cat=' . $category->cat_ID);
   ?>

   Michael, this is actually awesome. I just added a negative sign in '$cat=-'.

   Thank you !

   Does anyone know how to exclude post from certain category even if post are belong to multiple category.

   Example-> Post A belongs to Category B and C
   i used query_post with cat=-B
   And Post A still show (I guess) because it belongs to C.

   Is there any work around??

   Thank you,
