 * Hello everyone.
 * I’m using author template (author.php) for display each author posts. I’m using`
   query_posts("&cat=-5");` code snippet for exclude a category.
 * But if i use this snippet author template isn’t working. So it’s displaying all
   author with own posts (in example: [http://www.sinemalardan.com/author/admin/](http://www.sinemalardan.com/author/admin/)-
   it’s will be display other author’s post).
 * My blog is here: [http://www.sinemalardan.com](http://www.sinemalardan.com)
 * Thanks.

 * I solved this problem with move query_posts() function to page of top like this:
   `
   query_posts( $query_string . '&cat=-5' );`
 * Thanks Viper007bond. 🙂
