This is not a current feature of WPBook, but it is something users have requested.
You can choose, using the yes/no in the sidebar, not to post specific items to Facebook when they are published, but they will still show in the canvas view.
In other words, it’s on our list, but not simple to do – you’d have to change the query in the index.php inside wpbook/theme/ to limit by category, and change publish_to_facebook.php to only apply to posts in that category, and also wp-cron.php to only consider those posts for comment import, etc.
Yes, the canvas view is the main problem.
Ok, consider this post please as a +1 vote for this feature. It would make wpbook even cooler as it is and you my personal hero. 🙂
No honestly, great plugin, thanks for your support and time. It would just be nice to be able to filter the canvas view.

You should be able to copy the wpbook_theme folder into wp-content/themes then modify index.php around line 293 you’ll see a fairly normal WordPress loop. Something like:
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) :
the_post();....
change that to
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) :
the_post();if ( in_category( 'gundog' )) {
//rest of loop code here
} //end category check
endif; // if have posts
This requires some knowledge of WP themes and I haven’t tested this particular method but the concept should work. Make sure you have the canvas URL set to the main WP blog page as what we are doing is just hiding all but that category.

Ok, I modified it like you suggests and it seems to work pretty well. The closing } is not before
endif; // if have posts but before endwhile; // while have posts
but as you said, the concept works.
Thanks for your help guys,

@khoulaiz okay after endwhile; makes more sense I just did a quick look over the code and guessed without testing it 🙂
