# Exclude category error

 * A lot of errors using + operator.
 * If I list posts using multiple categories with + operator, I can’t exclude any
   category.
    If I use CAT1+CAT2-CAT3, the exclude command doesn’t work.

 * If I use -CAT3+CAT1+CAT2 I only display posts from CAT3.

 * The exclusion of categories with – is not working at all, actually. Not with 
   ids nor category names/slugs.

 * I’m looking into this, after some tests I’ve confirmed in some cases it does 
   work and it doesn’t work in others.
 * Stay tuned for a new version fixing this!

 * Yes, please look into this? I have a client with complex relationships of categories
   and I have this string for my IDs: id=’18+33-39-35′ which shows those in both
   18 and 33 but disregards the exclusion of 39 and 35.
 * Now on the flipside I have another page with id=’18+33+39-35′ which shows those
   in both 18 and 33 and 39 but still does not exclude those in 35.
 * Please help soon 🙂
 * I did just update the plugin and wordpress, but didn’t change the behaviors.

 * I fixed this for version 0.36. It works only when using id’s, not category names,
   but that may get fixed for a future version.
 * Please check it out and let me know if it’s working for you and let me know of
   any feedback on this forum topic.
 * Thanks!

   much, I love your plugin.
