[Plugin: List category posts] Exclude subcategories

  • Is there a shortcode to display ONLY posts in the parent category and not to display subcategories?
    as I have set up something like this on my page
    <h3>My general category</h3>
    [catlist name=general-category]
    <h3>My subcategory</h3>
    [catlist name=sub-category]
    <h3>Another subcategory</h3>
    [catlist name=another-sub-category]

    so I don’t want results from the subcategories showing under the first general category header…

    Is there a way that I can exclude all subcategories using a shortcode? I think I could exclude them manually usuing the -sign (not sure is that works with name but am going to experiment – only I need to be able to do this whatever subcategories may be created in the future… please help!

    what I’m hoping for is something like[catlist name=generalgategory excludecategories=45,50] – but my local installation is so painfully slow trial and error isn’t really my favourite method!

    have you use <?php wp_list_categories(‘exclude=45,50’)?>
