<?php wp_list_cats(‘exclude=10, 15’); ?> This would exclude the categories with the ID #s 10 and 15. You can find the ID number in your Manage<Categories section of your admin.
This part of the codex explains the wp_list_cats tag in more detail and what you can do with it.
I also suggest checking out the Codex main page, as it may answer some of your future questions.
thanx for the reply, I already know about that method, you see I want to use the wordpress as a news system and eevery week add a new category fo rthat date, but I only want to show the 5 most recent “dates”, having saud that I dont want the other categories deleted, I would like them archived (I thought of just adding a pge and link these old ones on there)
Im just not quite that keen on going nto the code every week, I would much rather have a function like on “link” where you can set the visiblity of the specific link.
thanx a lot chapmanchoi, thats exactly waht i was looking for 😉
