@yerio – Thank you!! Your little functions script saved our site. The auto formatting of the new text widgets is indeed troublesome when it clashes with scripts and styles.

Function; customised. worked great. Cheers
This one is solved.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks for the help. I might go back to the drawing board!

Not necessarily re not using a child theme. I’d just rename it and use it as a starting point and then customise/ customize to the max ??

And likewise if you use a child theme based off twentyeleven, it may change at some point if you update wordpress. Which is why I generally don’t bother with them. Pros and Cons. However they are valid and that’s for another discussion!

Cheers

Thank you for your quick response.
Very much appreciated.

I would appreciate if there was a solution that didn’t involve any reference to dark magical powers. WordPress has such a function? That stuff is deadly dangerous! Yikes

Something like this, should work right?

function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_page('blog') ) {
$query->set('cat', '-22');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');

No Child theme this time round. However I agree I could have used a child theme, as is probably better practice.

I have tried adding some similar functions, however it seems to be not working for some reason at all. Even targeting the right category id.
