wp_list_categories() exclude not working anymore in 3.7?

Same here. Using the exclude category option in the BranfordMagazine template

Same here. Using and $args array with parameters also doesn’t work.

The same problem here.

Ditto. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Would also like to know how to fix. Thanks.

It looks like a genuine bug in WP and not something in the themes.

There’s a work-around here that checks the category ID before outputting content (for a nav walker, but would work in a template too):

I’ve added a Trac ticket for this:
* https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/25710

There’s a one line fix in Trac that you can make manually (recommended to understand apply I g SVN diff’s though), or wait for 3.7.2 and this will be included:

this is my solution, replace <?php wp_list_categories();?> with:

<?php foreach(get_categories(“orderby=name&orderby=count&order=DESC&exclude=&hide_empty=0″) as $category) {echo ‘<li class=”cat-item cat-item-‘.$category->cat_ID.'”>cat_ID).'” title=”‘.$category->category_description.'”>’.$category->cat_name.’‘;} ?>

Confirm. Not work.

please try this

<ul>
<?php foreach(get_categories("orderby=name&orderby=count&order=DESC&exclude=14,1,3,4,5,9&hide_empty=0") as $category) {echo '<li class="cat-item cat-item-'.$category->cat_ID.'"><a href="'.get_category_link($category->cat_ID).'" title="'.$category->category_description.'">'.$category->cat_name.'</a></li>';} ?>
</ul>

replace ‘exclude=14,1,3,4,5,9’ with yours
