How to exclude a category ? Pls help !

Anyone please ?

Have you tried changing YARPP options? Namely, “Relatedness options” and pick “Categories: require at least one category in common”.

@ezzal the best way to do this is to turn off “automatically display” in YARPP’s display options, then call the code related_posts() in your theme, under where you display the content, and to wrap that in a conditional so that it’s only triggered if you’re displaying something in the appropriate category. Needless to say, you’ll have to do that in PHP. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your replies.. and your time.
mitcho – Your idea seems simple and great !

I can’t use the basic options in plugin because I have lot of sub categories under every main categories.

and GAMES category have : action, arcadem, puzzle, etc sub categories.. etc

Thanks ! I can solve this now..

Thanks.

mitcho, can you please help ?

If anyone else can help I’ll appreciate that.

Thanks.

@polle001 do you want to avoid displaying results for posts of a particular category, or avoid showing posts in a particular category as “related”?

Avoid displaying results for posts of a particular category.

Lets say I don’t want the category “cars” to display at all in the related ones. As I have it with a special style, it breaks everything in the related section, so I need to exclude that category from the related posts.

Thanks.

You can exclude particular tags and categories from the “The Pool” options in the YARPP options screen. If you don’t see those settings around, you can make them appear by going to the “screen options” tab in the top right.

Yep, I was not seeing them. Thanks !
