    Hi all,

    Hope someone finds this easy and can let me know how I can add a small code to remove a single category from the bellow. The category ID is 61 and I have tried <?php query_posts(‘cat=-61’); ?> to no avail.

    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts(array(‘numberposts’ => 4, ‘offset’ => 0,’post_status’=>’publish’));
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>

    Many thanks

    Try adding the ‘cat’ parameter to you r get_posts() call, like this:

    $myposts = get_posts(array('numberposts' => 4, 'offset' => 0,'post_status'=>'publish', 'cat' => -61));

    thanks vtxyzzy,

    I tried your suggestion but still doesn’t work.

    Any other suggestions?

    thanks

    Try using ‘category’ => -61 instead of ‘cat’ => -61.

    I personally find it much easier to read above when it is shown as such. (Just a note and reminder to self that the args go first):

    $myposts = get_posts(
array(
'numberposts' => 4,
'offset' => 0,
'post_status'=>'publish',
'cat' => -61)
);

    Would this be an improvement?:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page'=> 4,
'post_status'=>'publish',
'cat' => -61
);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post);
?>

    But is not post_status'=>'publish' the default and not required?

    Note: Make sure to match the posts per page with the Reading Settings if using a Pagination Plugin…or a fallback to default pagination.
