publishing without putting it on the front page

  • I’m planning to create a new category of blog entries that will be posted everyday. The thing is that I don’t want the entries in that category to automatically show up when you go to my blog’s main page, I only want them to appear in searches and if you click on the category’s links. Is there an efficient way to do this, through either publishing options or category options?

  • Let’s say the ID number of your special category is 5.
    In your template, just after the line that says $blog=1; Add a new line like so:
    $cat='-5';

    works perfectly, thanks!

    Can the Cat$ have multiple values like 1,2,3 or -5,-2?

    Hmm, I found a problem with this approach. It seems now when I click on the category’s link, nothing happens. Any ideas?

    I’m trying to accomplish the same thing, with some disasterous results.
    I tried putting the solution mentioned here, didn’t work.
    I tried setting $cat = 1; 1 being the category I DO want to display. Which works, except then it displays ALL posts in that category and ignores the Posts_per_page.
    I was able to get it to oly show 10 posts when I set the what_to_show option to posts paged, but then I don’t see how to get to the other pages (is there something I need to add to my template? I’ll double check the documetation.)
