# Problem with Plugin "Simply Exclude"

 * On my Blog [http://www.angis-blog.de/](http://www.angis-blog.de/) I wanted to
   exclude a category from the main page with the Plugin “Simply Exclude”. But somehow
   that doesn’t work.
 * There is a part in the plugin settings that says “The Simply-Exclude plugin was
   designed to only work with the main page query. But sometimes other plugins or
   your theme will effect how the main filtering works. So if you are having trouble
   attempting to filter categories from your home page you might want to try and
   set this option to ‘All’ and see if it corrects your issue.” So I thought this
   might be the problem. But even if I set this option to All, I still see the category“
   Schleich Pferde”. Instead it excludes the posts from recent comments and recent
   posts in the sidebar.
 * I also choose exclude in the feed and for me it does exclude the posts from this
   category in the feed, but some other people told me that for them the posts are
   still there.
 * I’m really confused! Help, anyone?

 * Hi AngiWaters. Have you posted your question on the [plugin support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simply-exclude)?
   Or searched there to see if someone else using the plugin has a similar issue?
   
   Also, here are a couple of threads that discuss excluding categories without 
   using a plugin: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-a-category-from-hueman-index-page?replies=11](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-a-category-from-hueman-index-page?replies=11)

 * [@angiwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angiwaters/),
 * As suggested by [@bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) please
   got to the plugin support forums. More specific to the Simply-Exclude support
   forum [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simply-exclude](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simply-exclude)
   and I’ll be glad to work with you there to get you to a resolution. More than
   likely it is your theme.

 * Thanks for your answers! I solved the problem by using a code snippet in functions.
   php, which seems to work better than the plugin. Still using the plugin for excluding
   the category in the feed, which seems to work now. 🙂
