In reply to: i can not to update my blog into WordPress 2.7.1It’s not clear what you mean. Do you mean you can’t upgrade to 2.7.1 or do you mean you can’t create posts? And what does “trouble” mean? You need to be specific.

In reply to: Exclude Categories In Parent?Ok I see why I was confused, lol. All I want to do is automatically exclude all the children of category 18.

In reply to: Exclude Categories In Parent?Sorry to be so dumb about this. Sheesh! But where do I put:
excluded_child_cats(18)
?
I’ve been making themes for years but this is my first time digging down into the guts of things.

In reply to: Exclude Categories In Parent?Ok, I think I’m not understanding, lol. The code I posted in the first post I have in my themes function.php and it excludes those categories from the home and archives pages. I thought you meant I could use:
function excluded_child_cats(18) { $ex_cats = get_categories('child_of=' . $id); $result = ' -' . $id; foreach ($ex_cats as $ec) { $result .= ' -' . $ec->cat_ID; } return $result . ' '; }instead of my original code in the function.php to automatically exclude the children of category 18? But it gives me this error when i do that:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ‘&’ or T_VARIABLE in /home/edie/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/blog/functions.php on line 22
Thanks for your help. I have a feeling I’m just not wrapping my brain around what you’re trying to tell me. Uggg.

In reply to: Exclude Categories In Parent?Thanks so much for your response! I’m probably doing something wrong (I’ve been staring at this stuff for hours, heh) but I keep getting errors. If I understand right I’d use:
function excluded_child_cats('18') { $ex_cats = get_categories('child_of=' . $id); $result = ' -' . $id; foreach ($ex_cats as $ec) { $result .= ' -' . $ec->cat_ID; } return $result . ' '; }to exclude all the children of parent category 18? But when I do that I get errors *cries*

If you haven’t even TRIED to install and it’s confusing, maybe you’d be better off with a blog hosted at wordpress.com.
