   I am using a mod'ed version of 2010 on WP 3.0.1
   I would like to exclude all of the posts from cat 4 and 5 from the widgets/sidebars in Twenty Ten, but ideally I'd like to keep the functionality of the sidebars intact (eg Drag and Drop placement etc - no static sidebars).

   I have successfully removed all posts (from cat 4&5) from the 'blog' page and 'archives' page by using query_posts("cat=-4, -5");

   Now I need to include something similar into:
   Recent Posts - Widget
   Archives - Widget -> Need correct count assoiciated with this
   Categories - Widget
   Recent Posts - Footer Widget

   Unfortunately I don't really know where to look for the code that populates these things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Have you tried looking through plugins for widgets with more options that allow this?

   There's also this plugin:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simply-exclude/

   Thank you dskallman
   I was able to remove the two categories I wanted hidden using simply-exclude, but that did not hide posts from those two categories that I also wanted hidden. So using simply-exclude along with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mcatfilter/
   I was able to hide the categories and the posts from all 2010 widgets.
   thanks!

   My archive post counts are incorrect still, but I'll probably just turn that off as its not really important for this site.

   Hello wyndom,

   I'm using Twenty Ten 1.1 theme with WordPress 3.0.1.

   I'm trying to exclude some posts from blog page. So I created a category and added those posts their and used the same method as you to remove them using query_posts("cat=-5").

   It does remove posts, but then when I click older posts at the bottom of the page, it keeps repeating the same 10 post. I have set the number of posts to 10 using settings.

   Maybe I haven't inserted the code in its proper place.

   Any help would be very useful before I lost my mind.

   Thanks.

   Thanks for trying to help. I tackled this problem by creating a child theme for twenty ten and by re adding the code.
