Hey, Boban

Can you please let me know how you did this? I am using the same theme as you and I have the same problem. I need the author name to show up in the post meta.

Thanks a bunch.

Looking for some answers on this as well.

I am requesting any WP MODERATOR to please delete this forum topic. Thank you.

Sorry, WPyogi. It’s not the tech problem that’s frustrating me. At the risk of being rude, it’s your approach that’s frustrating me.

You just posted “use a child theme” as helpful answer. Not anything after that. So now what…I have to type back “I reactivated my child theme” and then wait for you to reply? I’m guessing your reply after that would be “Good. Now we can start.” At this rate it will take a year to get anywhere.

I know you are here to help, but don’t you think you could have told me what to do AFTER activating my child theme again? If I didn’t know this was volunteer work I’d think you were getting paid by the hour.

Ok…I’m over this.

When activating a child theme with that code, all my sidebars ended up broken and I had widgets all over the place. Instead I posted it in the .css editor and it looks like the sidebar is widened but now the text widget is not allowing the full code for the 300×250 ad to show up. Is there a fix for that?

Yes, I have one but I have not activated it yet.

OK closing this topic and trying again on another thread.

I figured out what the problem was.

Great solution. Thanks.

Alchymyth,

What you said is probably the better way. The code I inserted broke my pagination. I ended up finding a plugin that is working great for me now (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-exclude-from-homepage/) but building a simple plugin would have been my next step if a pre-made one broke my site.

Your help has been invaluable. Thanks again.

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

Post this just before the loop in case anyone needs to know.

Never mind, alchymith, I figured it out. Take care.

Hey, alchymyth

Thank you for taking the time to help.

There was one change made to the /includes/gazpo-loop.php file, and once I restored it to the original the problem was fixed. The edit was meant to prevent “video” category from showing in the main post feed, however, and now I am at a loss on how to fix this problem.

I will pose the question to you, but as it is a new question I understand if you want me to post a new topic in the forum.

How can I prevent a category from showing up on the homepage?

Thanks again for fixing this problem. I am one step away from a complete website.

Hey, thanks so much Sebastian and sorry if I confused you. I disabled the SEO plugin to see if it would help. It didn’t. What DID help was turning off the “Publicize” connection I had made through Jetpack to Facebook! Now everything is working fine.

Thank you again for helping out, and I will drop the extra tags immediately.
