I&#8217;ve read what I can but after spending almost 3 hours on what I&#8217;m sure will be a few simple tweaks I&#8217;m throwing myself upon the mercy of the community. <\/p>\n<p>I have my blog posts displayed on a page, using a static home page. I want to exclude specific categories from showing up with the rest of the posts. <\/p>\n<p>I found <a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/The_Loop\">this really helpful post<\/a> but there are some things in play that I don&#8217;t think apply to my setup and\/or the current version of WordPress. The loop doesn&#8217;t seem to be contained within index.php. Instead my theme has loop.php which is called from index, if I&#8217;m reading the code correctly. I&#8217;ve experimented with putting the WP_Query line before the loop in loop.php AND before loop is called in index.php and both have failed me miserably. <\/p>\n<p>Please help me understand what I&#8217;m doing wrong here and how to resolve the issue. Any insight or guidance is appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>My Site: http:\/\/2dorksontheroad.com<br \/>\nUsing theme: Travel in Italy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6788603","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6788603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6788603\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6788603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
