excluded categories?

Have you played with query_posts?

Something like this in your index.php would put a different set of posts on the front page as elsewhere:

<?php
if (is_home()){
  query_posts( ... put something here ... );
}
?>

adamrbrown, I’m not sure I understand what you want me to put there…

And I tried that plugin. Nothing happened :S

If you want to exclude some catagories in your home page then use the following code

<?php
   if (is_home()) {
      query_posts("cat=-1,-2,-3");
   }
?>

is_home = checks if it is your home page

query_posts = searches the database for the given parametres. which is to exclude categories, 1,2,3

Please go here and read the whole page for better love.

I read that section too, and tried, but it doesn’t say where in the index to put the code, I must have put it wrong because it messed up a whole lot ??
