Hi,
At present, the widget works with a SQL query without using the WP_query function.
If the widget used WP_query, he could not exclude post_type with much simplicity and performance.
But for categories, the problem is reversed. The WordPress WP_query function is more suitable although less efficient.
Thus, it is difficult to make a SQL query that excludes categories because these are defined on the joints of 3 data tables:
– wp_term_relationships
– wp_term_taxonomy
– wp_posts
I will study the problem, but it will be very long.
Hi,
The new version 1.7 allow to select the categories and the latest articles published to be displayed or to be excluded.
Great, thanks a lot. This is useful for me because I have a category on my site that I dont want to display on the front page. Thanks again. 🙂
