Wordpress category question - GoFuckYourself.com

MyDogHasFleas · 02-04-2012, 11:25 PM

Is there a way to make a post show up only in the category page and not on the main page? For example I want to add some gay posts to my blog... but I only want them accessible from the gay category. Is this possible?

of course, just open your index page, look for the query and add

Code:

'&cat=-15'

where 15 is your "gay" category.

If you want to exclude it ONLY in main page but not in archives, do as follows:

Code:

<?php if ( is_home() ) 
{
query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-15, -20');
}
?>

where, again, 15 is your gay category and 20 is your tranny category, assuming you need to exclude more than 1 cat. Replace with your real category IDs, obviously

or for the less wp friendly crowd theirs a nice plugin, i think advanced category exclude, which will work without touching any code.
