 * Hi all,
    not sure if this is possible or not but here’s what I’m trying to do:
   I have:
 *     ```
       <?php elseif (in_category(48)) : ?>
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * …etc, etc
 * This loops through 10 times and outputs in 2 lines of output with the post excerpt
   etc.
 * What i’m trying to do is exclude posts from certain categories within the loop,
   which is easy enough, but i DON’T want the loop to count. i.e. it outputs 4 then
   comes across one I want to exclude and it skips over it but will still output
   a further 6.
 * at the moment it’s looping through and just showing 9 as i’m skipping one because
   I don’t want to display, which is half-right.
 * Hope i’ve explained that ok!
