Have you played with query_posts?
Something like this in your index.php would put a different set of posts on the front page as elsewhere:
<?php
if (is_home()){
query_posts( ... put something here ... );
}
?>
adamrbrown, I’m not sure I understand what you want me to put there…
And I tried that plugin. Nothing happened :S
If you want to exclude some catagories in your home page then use the following code
<?php
if (is_home()) {
query_posts("cat=-1,-2,-3");
}
?>
is_home = checks if it is your home page
query_posts = searches the database for the given parametres. which is to exclude categories, 1,2,3
Please go here and read the whole page for better love.
I read that section too, and tried, but it doesn’t say where in the index to put the code, I must have put it wrong because it messed up a whole lot 😛
