Don’t believe you are going to get there with get_posts.
Consider using the template tag, query_posts(), instead.
Assuming the category you want to exclude is 8.
<?php
query_posts("cat=-8&showposts=10");
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
...
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
i have used similar code:
<?php
if(!empty($_GET['paged']))
$paged = $_GET['paged'];
else $paged=4;
query_posts('order=ASC&cat=-403&paged='.$paged') ?>
but the order ASC or DESC don’t work. i visualized the post from most old. i want visualize the last post of all category excluse 403th from last post added.
i have also added &orderby=date but don’t work. if you are a solution write, thank you
For me get_posts() worked fine for a simple (non-paged) list. I just put a – before the category numbers I wanted to exclude, something like:
<?php
$postslist = get_posts(‘category=-39,-15&numberposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=title’);
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
My example lists all posts not in category 39 or in category 15, sorted by title.
To sort by date, most recent first, I use something like ‘category=-39,-15&orderby=date&order=DESC’.
Try that again:
<?php
$postslist = get_posts('category=-39,-15&numberposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=title');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to '<?php the_title(); ?>'"><?php the_title(); ?></a> (<?php the_date(); ?>)</li>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>
