What are you excluding your category (#6) from? When I used your code on my own web sites, the iframe works fine when loading from a different web site. I have the category excluded only from the main page. Ahh. When I exclude “From Archives” both the notheme.php and iframe don’t load anything at all.

What version of WordPress, PHP, mysql are you using? I cannot recreate the notheme.php working, but the iframe not working. What web browser are you using? How about any proxies that may by trying to “help” you by filtering third party content?

The widget code generates its info differently, and isn’t reachable by a plugin. So if you need to exclude categories from the widget you need to manually add the exclusion to the widget code. Start looking at the documentation at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/The_Loop#Exclude_Posts_From_Some_Category

What is not happening with the plugin? Are you getting errors? Or it just doesn’t exclude categories? What version of WP, PHP, and MySQL are you running? Mike (author of Ultimate Category Excluder)

Hi Raghos,

Are you creating a separate query to pull in those “reccomended” articles? And you are using UCE to keep that category from showing up elsewhere? I’m guessing the two queries are clashing, since they are being told to do opposite things. Your query says to show those posts, the UCE plugin is saying to not show those posts. mmm. Let me think. Can you pull in your recommended posts via the RSS feed instead? Mike

Hi everyone. Yes, I found out the same day (Feb 24) that Ultimate Category Excluder was only working with one category at a time. I fixed that bug. Please let me know if you have any trouble with my plugin now. Thanks, Mike

And yes, UCE is now in the WordPress plugin directory, so you’ll get notifications if I have to release an upgrade in the future.

And yes, it’s now in the WordPress plugin directory: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/

I updated my plugin at https://www.planetmike.com/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/ . I really need to add it to the www.ads-software.com plugin list. Please test it and let me know if it works for you or not.

I’ve had this problem on blogs that do have Twitter Tools installed, and on blogs that do not have Twitter Tools installed. I only use Twitter Tools to read and import my tweets, I don’t automagically publish my blog posts to a twitter account.

You’re missing the “start comment command” in front of the second line:

/* Plugin Name: Disable Search

Looking through my web logs I found several search engines using the WordPress search engine to search my site. I wonder if somewhere on the web is a link to my site with the search pre-defined.

Hi Schild, Simply comment out the arsort line in the functions.php file by putting two slashes in front of it. It should look like this:

// arsort( $recent_tags );

Now your tags won’t be sorted. Be aware if you have a lot of tags, you’ll need to increase the $num_to_show variable, which is defined in sidebar.php. If you don’t increase that value, you’ll only get the first 35 tags. For example, the tags from a to m.

Why the affiliate link to https://www.tweetmyblog.com/ ? Bad form.

It is a dangerous practice giving account info to third parties.

I just discovered the exact same problem on one of my blogs, I was blocking idiot spiders that don’t give a user-agent. Please add one to the next version of WP. I’m running WP 2.3.2.

I just released a plugin that disables smart quotes (currently only apostrophes and quotation marks) only within code blocks. I’d love to get your feedback on it. It can be downloaded from my site: https://www.planetmike.com

I tweaked your plugin, it adds a blank line to the very top of pages generated by WordPress. WLW Disabler.

I tried peymano’s solution. It did not work under WordPress 2.2.

martinauer’s solution did work, except that there the last line in the email is duplicated.
