# Simple Exclude Code

 * [I am trying to remove one thumbnail from my front page. ](http://www.simonlevenson.com/wordpress)
   
   I am using a plugin called [Thumbnails for Excerpt](http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts/)
   because my theme didn’t have them for category searches.
 * My problem is this, the plugin includes an expert with a thumbnail to the front
   page. It so happens that so does my theme. This doubled it up. The plugin writer
   sent me a little code to get rid of this on my front page. Here is the code:
   
   if(is_single()) return; if(is_home()) return $excerpt; That cleared up everything
   but that one duplicate thumbnail on the main story. I am trying to exclude that
   redundant thumb. Can someone help me with the code?
 * Here is my index page code. It is the part called Lead story…
    <?php get_header();?
   > <div id=”content”>
 *  <div class=”feature clearfloat” id=”lead”>
 *  <?php
    // this is where the Lead Story module begins query_posts(‘showposts=
   1&cat=40’); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> ” rel=”bookmark” title
   =”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’);?
   >/images/<?php // this is where the Lead Story image gets printed $values = get_post_custom_values(“
   Image”); echo $values[0]; ?>” alt=”” id=”leadpic” />
 *  <h3>
    <?php // this is where the name of the Lead Story category gets printed
   wp_list_categories(‘include=40&title_li=&style=none’); ?></h3> ” rel=”bookmark”
   title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>” class=”title”> <?php // this 
   is where the title of the Lead Story gets printed the_title(); ?>  <?php // this
   is where the excerpt of the Lead Story gets printed
 *  the_excerpt(); ?>
 * }
    <?php endwhile; ?> </div><!–END FEATURE–>
 *  <div id=”leftcol”>
    <?php // this is where the Features module begins query_posts(‘
   showposts=3&cat=41’); ?> <h3><?php // this is where the name of the Features 
   category gets printed wp_list_categories(‘include=41&title_li=&style=none’); ?
   ></h3> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class=”feature”>” rel
   =”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘
   template_url’); ?>/images/<?php // this is where the custom field prints images
   for each Feature $values = get_post_custom_values(“Image”); echo $values[0]; ?
   >” alt=”” />” rel=”bookmark” class=”title”> <?php // this is where title of the
   Feature gets printed the_title(); ?>»</div> <?php endwhile; ?> </div><!–END LEFTCOL–
   >
 *  <div id=”rightcol”>
    <?php // this is where you enter the IDs of which categories
   you want to display $display_categories = array(47,43,44); foreach ($display_categories
   as $category) { ?> <div class=”clearfloat”> <?php query_posts(“showposts=1&cat
   =$category”); $wp_query->is_category = false; $wp_query->is_archive = false; 
   $wp_query->is_home = true; ?> <h3>“><?php // this is where the name of each category
   gets printed single_cat_title(); ?></h3> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?
   > <?php // this grabs the image filename $values = get_post_custom_values(“Image”);//
   this checks to see if an image file exists if (isset($values[0])) { ?> ” rel=”
   bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘
   template_url’); ?>/images/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values(“Image”); echo
   $values[0]; ?>” alt=”” /> <?php } ?> ” rel=”bookmark” class=”title”><?php // 
   this is where title of the article gets printed the_title(); ?>» <?php the_excerpt();?
   > <?php endwhile; ?> </div> <?php } ?> </div><!–END RIGHTCOL–> </div><!–END CONTENT–
   >
 * <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * Thank you all for your help. I am not a programmer but have put my site together
   myself and this little nit is buggin me.
