I'm trying to exclude particular posts from pages of posts.
I found the following code in the forum:
function childtheme_above_indexloop() {
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("cat=-3&paged=$paged");
}
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop', 'childtheme_above_indexloop');
This half works, except sticky posts from the excluded category still appear as stickies on the page.
Since I'm actually trying to separate a category that is written by a single author, I thought I'd try that, so I changed the code to:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("author=-2&paged=$paged");
However, this also only half works, as now NONE of the sticky posts are sticky anymore.
I don't really know how to go about fixing this - does anyone have any ideas? I'm guessing this is just peculiar wordpress behaviour rather than anything to do with thematic?
