show at least X posts on front page (category hidden)

I am using wp 2.0.2 and have the same problem – any solutions?

although I did not use any plugin but edited the main index template… btw. where can I get this plugin?

I might have found a solution: using the CQS plugin I am just trying to set up more conditions like is_home show last 90 days combined with is_home show last 10 posts might work, I’ll post back and tell you if and how it worked

Arrgh! Any luck here guys? I have a hidden category and I’m only displaying 1 post on the homepage. So with the count problem, I post to the hidden category and get …blank on the homepage. Is it possible at all to tweak the code to move to the next post rather than loop around and leave a ‘hole’? Is this line just wrong?

<?php if (in_category(’10’)) continue; ?>

Anything? No? ??

I solved my problem by using this plugin: https://www.semiologic.com/software/opt-in-front/

I hope thats what you were asking for ??

Thanks for the post but no help ??

I have one hidden category in the loop that I display seperately on the page so I cant block completely from the page. As the loop counts hidden cats and I only show one post in the loop I can end up with a blank if that post happens to be hidden.

I need to completely omit the hidden category from the loop ‘count’… ummm?

Anyone? ??
