So the install on Apache is simpler?

What does the extra work involve?

My work uses Windows Server which is why I want to run it.

Why is it a bad idea?

Well, I kind of want to do it myself because I want to learn how to do it.

Ok, I got it to work. I looked up the category ID and used this…

function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-14' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

Ok, I now have this and its not working…

function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'category_name=video' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

And its giving me this error…

Warning:Missing argument 2 for WP_Query::set(), called in /home/rhemox/buildlab.xyz/wp-content/themes/buildlab_childtheme_20_14/functions.php on line 23 and defined in /home/rhemox/buildlab.xyz/wp-includes/query.php on line 2369

Well that didnt work.

Heres what I have in the functions.php file…

<?php
//
// Recommended way to include parent theme styles.
//  (Please see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme)
//
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array('parent-style')
    );
}
//
// Your code goes below
//

// START To remove category of video showing on posts page

function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-video' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

// END To remove category of video showing on posts page

Thanks for the response.

So it seems like excluding posts with category “video” from posts page makes the most sense.

So would I just copy and paste this code anywhere in the functions.php file?

function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-1,-1347' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

But replace the example above’s category to be excluded with my “video” category?

@jenr – Thanks Ill look into that.

And if you dont bump what do they want you to do? Make another thread?

@saif – That one seems good but I need more than just YouTube. Thanks though.

Cool. That did it. Thanks.

Thanks for the response.

Um, what is a custom CSS plugin? Sorry, I’m a complete noob to WordPress. And still a general noob to web development.
