# Dashboard – Exclude Post Category?

 * I run a site that includes general blog posts as well as event listings. The 
   event listings are posts as well, in their own category called “Events”. When
   I go to the “Posts” section on my Dashboard, I see a ton of posts because all
   of my events are listed there, too. I know that there is a dropdown above the
   posts allowing you to choose which Category to view – but is there a plugin or
   anything of that nature that will allow me to EXCLUDE a category? The same kind
   of idea as the “View Posts In This Category” dropdown, but the opposite function.

 * I’m curious about this as well. I have a lot of “sidebar” posts that I don’t 
   want appearing in the dashboard view.
 * No luck so far in finding anything.
