   Is there a way to remove a category in my post metadata?

   <div class="postmetadata">
   
   				<?php the_date(); ?><?php the_category(', ') ?>|
   				<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
   
   			</div>

   I removed the category in my category section but I can't do it in my post metadata.

   Thanks

   does removing this obvious part from you code snippet not work?

   <?php the_category(', ') ?>

   if not, you might be editing the wrong template.

   If I remove the code you said I will not show any of the categories from the post. What I need is if the post has more than one category, let say, web and newsletter I will like only to show web.

   I did it in my category section where I show all my categories except category 10 with this code:

   <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=&exclude=10'); ?>

   here I show all my categories and I hide category 10.

   Thanks

   won't work with <?php the_category(', ') ?>

   you could program something like (where 23 is the category id of the excluded cat):

   <?php $cats = get_the_category();
   if( $cats ) foreach( $cats as $cat ) {
   $sep = '';
     if( $cat->term_id != 23 ) {
     echo $sep . '<a href="' . get_category_link( $cat->term_id ) . '">' . $cat->name . '</a>'; $sep = ', ';
     }
   }
   ?>
