Exclude a Category from Hueman Index-Page

Hey,

Just add the following code block into the functions.php file which can be found in your theme’s directory. Change the CAT_NR with the ID of the category that you want to exclude from homepage – keep the minus sign there, it is necessary. You can find the ID of the category from the Categories page in your WP Admin Dashboard – Click the category you want and then read your browser’s URL bar, there will be something like tag_ID=123. That number is the ID.

function excludeCat($query) {
  if ( $query->is_home ) {
    $query->set('cat', '-CAT_NR');
  }
  return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');

@can Atasever: It WORKED very well! Thank you so much. ??

It’s still working with the new Hueman v2.1.5 !

Awesome! I’ll be using it to exclude podcasts from the main page. Thanks!

Hello All,

Could someone explain me what i need to do if i want to exclude more than one category

function excludeCat($query) {
  if ( $query->is_home ) {
    $query->set('cat', '-CAT_NR');
  }
  return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');

Thanks,

Ok,

I got the answer and it can be included like this

$query->set('cat', '-44,-331');

Hello ??

I need to exclude category only from related posts (“You may also like”) at the bottom of the page. Could somebody help me with this?

Original theme code looks like this:

// Related by categories
		if ( ot_get_option('related-posts') == 'categories' ) {

			$cats = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'related-cat', true);

			if ( !$cats ) {
				$cats = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID, array('fields'=>'ids'));
				$args['category__in'] = $cats;
			} else {
				$args['cat'] = $cats;
			}
		}

Greetings,
Adrian

Hi! This may be an obvious question, but where in the functions.php file does that you provided need to go? Thanks!
