How do I exclude a post or category from home page

There are a couple of plugins for this.

Unfortunately the site they reside on appears dead at the moment. Here’s the links to them (for when things are back in order):

thanks kaf!

This isn’t exactly what I need but is an alternative solution: https://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/home-page-control/

Ok. I found a solution after some effort looking. The plugin that I know works for WP 2.0 is at ……:

I needed this because I included a Flash Photo Gallery (SlideShowPro) that could only be inserted into a POST. Not wanting the gallery to appear on the home page, I needed a solution. This plugin worked without a hitch. Here’s the site I used it on : https://bearcabinrecording.com

I’m using the Semiologic Opt-in front page plugin. It includes any post with the category “Blog”. I have that checked as default. Now everything is automatically appears unless I ‘opt-out’ by unchecking the blog category.

Now I just want to hide that category from the post meta data.

I need to modify this to exclude one category:

get_the_category_list(‘, ‘)

I think I need to insert exclude=’cat ID #’ somewhere. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I think this is what you have been looking for.

I am having problems modifying the code for the Category Visability plugin so that it displays subcategories correctly. I used the following snippet, but keep getting an error.

This is the snippet:

Have found a fix for my problem, a bit clunky perhaps, but it works for 2 levels of subcategories, At line 322, change the part of the for each statement as follows:

foreach ($linklist as $link) {
if(preg_match("/class.children/”, $link)) {
$children = 1;
$newlist .= $link;
} elseif(preg_match(”/class.children/”, $link) && ($children=1)) {
$children = 2;
$newlist .= $link;
} elseif(preg_match(”/</ul>/”, $link) && ($children=1)) {
$children = 0;
$newlist .= $link;
} elseif(preg_match(”/</ul>/”, $link) && ($children=2)) {
$children = 1;
$newlist .= $link;
} else { ….. (ETC)

This is the error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS in D:\Domains\go.id.au\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\category_vis-rh.php on line 339

Line 339 is

} elseif(preg_match(”/class.children/”, $link) && ($children=1)) {

Any suggestions as to what I need to edit to make this work?
