Invisible/hidden category for specific posts

    I’ve looked through the forums but to the best of my knowledge there isn’t a thread that answers my particular question. So here goes…

    I’m working on a blog with both commercial and non-commercial stuff. I’d like the non-commercial posts to be displayed in an RSS feed for another website.

    My idea was simply to create a category called “non-commercial” and tick off the individual posts that applied to this category and thus were included in the customised, “non-commercial” RSS feed.

    But how do I make it so that the “non-commercial” category isn’t visible in the applicable posts to readers of my blog?

    Or is there another, simpler way to do this?

    Thank you all in advance.

    Essentially need to use a conditional tag to do that. The Loop article has some examples that apply, but in your loop it would be something like

    <?php
//assumes category id 3 is your non-commerical category
if ( ! in_category('3') ) {
  the_category();
}
?>

    Thanks, MichaelH.

    My K2 Loop looks like this:

    <?php
/**
 * Default Loop Template
 *
 * This file is loaded by multiple files and used for generating the loop
 *
 * @package K2
 * @subpackage Templates
 */

// Post index for semantic classes
$post_index = 1;

while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
		<div class="entry-head">
			<h3 class="entry-title">
				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php k2_permalink_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
			</h3>

			<?php /* Edit Link */ edit_post_link( __('Edit','k2_domain'), '<span class="entry-edit">', '</span>' ); ?>

			<?php if ( 'post' == $post->post_type ): ?>
			<div class="entry-meta">
				<?php k2_entry_meta(1); ?>
			</div> <!-- .entry-meta -->
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php /* K2 Hook */ do_action('template_entry_head'); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-head -->

		<div class="entry-content">

			<?php if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') and has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( array( 75, 75 ), array( 'class' => 'alignleft' ) ); ?></a>
			<?php endif; ?>
			<?php the_content( sprintf( __('Continue reading \'%s\'', 'k2_domain'), the_title('', '', false) ) ); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->

		<div class="entry-foot">
			<?php wp_link_pages( array('before' => '<div class="entry-pages"><span>' . __('Pages:','k2_domain') . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

			<?php if ( 'post' == $post->post_type ): ?>
			<div class="entry-meta">
				<?php k2_entry_meta(2); ?>
			</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php /* K2 Hook */ do_action('template_entry_foot'); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-foot -->
	</div><!-- #post-ID -->

<?php endwhile; /* End The Loop */ ?>

    Now where do I insert the code you posted?
