Exclude Categories in Search Results

  • Hi everyone,

    Here is a code that i have and for some reason my results are appearing in the following order:
    1st Page – 1 result
    2nd Page – 2 results
    3rd Page – 3 results

    Basically i want to exclude categories 9 and 17. Any clue as to why this could be happening.
    P.s: i dont want to use plugins

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if (in_category('9')) continue; ?>

<?php if (in_category('14')) continue; ?>

<?php the_title(); ?><br /><br />

<?php endwhile;endif;?>

<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Old Updates') ?>

<?php previous_posts_link('Latest Updates &raquo;') ?>

  • Hi, see if this works for you:

    <?php
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$s = get_query_var('s');
query_posts("s=$s&cat=-9,-14&paged=$page");
?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?><br /><br />
<?php endwhile;endif;?>
<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Old Updates') ?>
<?php previous_posts_link('Latest Updates &raquo;') ?>
