Hide categories from main blog view

  • I run a web comic that I maintain using a custom script for navigation. I’ve created a ‘comic’ category on my regular blog and everything is working just the way I would like it to. But here’s what I’m looking to do, now:

    I’d like to exclude the ‘comic’ category from my regular blog. Meaning, if a user navigates to /blog/ he’ll see the latest article, but never an issue of the web comic unless he specifically selects it from my category list.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    The documentation suggests the following:

    <?php if (in_category('3')) continue; ?>

    Which will exclude a category from the index listing, but won’t that also hide the posts if the user is viewing category 3?

    EDIT: By adding the following:

    <?php if ($cat != 3 && in_category('3')) continue; ?>

    My web comic will only show when its category is selected, however the front page of my blog now fails to show any post! I believe this is because I have my blog configured to only show 1 post per page. Any suggestions?

    Advanced Category Excluder, perhaps?

    You might also want to look at the WPComic theme. It excludes comic posts from regular blog posts.
