I’ve purchased and installed your theme and am almost done my site. One of the last things I need to do is exclude two categories of posts from displaying on the Blog page.

Could you please provide me with the technical answer / snippet of code?

Really looking forward to hearing from you soon!

I’m almost there!

Thanks

Justin

Thanks for writing.

Unfortunately we can’t provide support on customization. However, I’ve posted something related to that in my personal blog a while ago: http://juanfra.me/2012/11/how-to-exclude-categories-from-your-wordpress-home-page/

You should use that snippet and modify the is_home conditional

Looking at that snippet, it is a little outside my scope, as I don’t eally work with .php

Trying to wrap my head around that conditional statement.

Unfortunately we don’t offer customization services. You can contact our friends at http://codeable.io

Best,
Juan.

Would you please describe me what is that you have done?

Best,
Juan.

is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
$query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-1,-2,-3’ );

return $query;
}

add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘nice_exclude_cat’ );

?>

and changed

is_home -> is_blog

( ‘cat’, ‘-1,-2,-3’ ); -> ( ‘cat’, ‘6,7’ );

That is all.

Thank you for showing interest in my dilemma… 🙂

First of all, you have erased the function definition. This is, where the function nice_exclude_cat is defined.

Secondly, the function is_blog doesn’t exist. You should review your code and take into account that a simple comma or error in any piece of code can make your screen white.

Best,
Juan.

This was the code that I used.

is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
$query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-1,-2,-3’ );

return $query;
}

add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘nice_exclude_cat’ );

?>

Anyway, I’ve handed it over to a .php dev – so it shall be fixed real soon.

FTP file reset lol!

Thanks Juan
