# Excluding Categories

 * I excluded a category in settings called “News”, but when I go to a page that
   has been categorized as “News”, the plugin doesn’t show up. I still want the 
   plugin to display on that page, however, I want to exclude all “News” categories
   from displaying in the plugin.
 * Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 * Hey,
 * thanks for reaching out but unfortunately excluding works as it should. It prevents
   related posts to show up in that category.
    You can still remove the unwanted
   posts manually – via the “Edit Related Posts” button. I know this is inconvenient
   and time consuming but I can’t think of any other way, sorry.
 * Best,
    Petra
