Hi,
I'm trying to exclude posts from one category on the home page. I'm using WP3RC3 and this is what I tried. I am absolutely dumb with regards to PHP and programming in general.
//Exclude posts from category xyz
function excludeposts() {
if (is_home()) {
query_posts("cat=-4136");
}
}
add_filter ('thematic_content','excludeposts');Thanks for the help --any help.
Hi,
try a different action hook :)
//Exclude posts from category xyz
function excludeposts() {
if (is_home()) {
query_posts("cat=-4136");
}
}
add_filter ('thematic_above_indexloop','excludeposts');Chris
Thank you very much! I can't say I understand why but I'm very happy that you've helped me out here!

I presume 4136 is the category id. Isn't it so ?
Hi Sober,
Yes, that's right.
Hi,
I have been looking around to try and find a solution to this. I have multiple blogs using the same theme and want to keep the category name as generic as possible. Category ids across the network could change etc.
//Exclude posts from category xyz
function excludeposts() {
$id = get_cat_id('insights');
if (is_home()) {
query_posts("cat=-$id");
}
}
add_filter ('thematic_above_indexloop','excludeposts');
This works but how would I add multiple named categories to the string $id?
I tried using an array after get_cat_id(array('insights','cat2')); but this didn't work
Cheers in advance

Brilliant Chris, but was this documented anywhere?
I tried using this code on my blog feed to exclude the events category (I am using the event calendar plugin by Alix Tingle) . It works great on the blog page landing page, but on the subsequent "paged" pages, the category is not being excluded. Any insight would be appreciated!
Here is my code:
//Exclude posts from category xyz
function excludeposts() {
if (is_home() & !is_paged()) {
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("cat=-3");
}
}
add_filter ('thematic_above_indexloop','excludeposts');
I've tried the original function from Chris above with edits to try and peel out "News" category from the Blog page.
//Exclude posts from category xyz
function excludeposts() {
if (is_page('blog')) {
query_posts("cat=-3");
}
}
add_filter ('thematic_above_indexloop','excludeposts');But I see this hook is not in Thematic's page.php file, which I believe is running the blog page.
I was looking for this too- excluding one or more categories from the blog page. A good simple answer is here: http://forums.themeshaper.com/topic/exclude-categories-from-posts-page
I tried Chris' solution and it seemed to work until I noticed that when I click on the previous posts links the next page shows the same posts as on the home/index page.
I exclude four categories (and want to show 10 posts) on the home page
function excludeposts() {
if (is_home()) {
query_posts("cat=-12,-3,-13,-3846");
}
}
add_filter ('thematic_above_indexloop','excludeposts');
Never mind, I found the solution here: http://forums.themeshaper.com/topic/exclude-a-category-from-index-loop#post-20941
