Found a simple fix that allows me to change the word count to whatever I want https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-smarter-excerpt/

Thank you! That plugin works great! Actually better because it’s easy to exclude categories from archives too.

I don’t know how to help those that don’t have podpress and have the problem but if you do have podpress you may need to change a few lines of code in the podpress.php file.

Beginning at line 423 change this:

function podPress_wp_get_attachment_metadata($data, $id='') {
if(is_feed()) {
return '';
} else {
return $file;
}
}

to this:

function podPress_wp_get_attachment_metadata($data, $id='') {
if(is_feed()) {
return '';
} else {
return $data;
}
}

I don’t think it breaks anything in the plugin if this change is made.. I was hoping they’d fix this issue with their latest update but I found today that it still doesn’t work without doing this or deleting the plugin altogether.

..

I found a plugin that seems to work https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/front-page-excluded-categories/

Thanks, I actually found a loop to display just one on the homepage before checking back here. Shouldn’t have gave up on searching for an answer so soon.

One problem arises though which might need a new forum post.. I’m using this code on the homepage AND I want to exclude one category from ever showing up on the homepage

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1');?>

however when I add the code below somewhere, it does exclude that category but it also shows multiple posts again

<?php
   if (is_home()) {
      query_posts("cat=-3");
   }
?>

I am having this problem too and also have the PodPress plugin. I really don’t want to have to disable it since I like to podcast band interviews. Anyone know of a fix that doesn’t require disabling the plugin? Perhaps I should find another podcasting tool that doesn’t break this.
