Sorry, I worked it out. Maybe delete message

Thanks for your help moshu, it all works !

Ok thanks, I’ll check it out. I have been looking through the wordpress pages for a long time, and through the plugins as well. As someone new to wordpress I’m less familiar with this sort of stuff, so it makes sense for me to ask for more support…

Actually I found a way for it to work now. I’m using the Category Visibility plugin. I’ve replaced the ‘recent posts’ in the column with an rss feed which includes all the articles. Not ideal, I know, but at least something. The only problem left is that if users able to register and post will be able to tick the ‘promoted’ category themselves…

I have changed the user levels in the plugin but it seems if they are any other than 0, only registered people for the level I’d specify would be able to view those posts on the front page…

Right,

With the Category Visibility plugin the posts don’t show on the frontpage, but also fail to show in the ‘recent posts’ (in the right column) which i’d like to show the titles of all recent posts, including those not promoted.

With the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin it seemed to mess up my categories in general. When I tried to view a category called ‘books’, all articles showed even those not in the category.

Also bothe plugins seem for wordpress 2.0 and 2.1. I’m running 2.2

With both these plugins the articles that show on the frontpage have to be in a category, which I called ‘promoted’. I thought if I exclude all the other categories from the frontpage, then what I tick the promoted category for, will appear. The problem seems that if ‘promoted’ is an actual category, a user able to register and post (which is what I’d like people to do) will be able to tick the ‘promoted’ category themselves.

Anyhow, I’d like to be able to tick a box to ‘promote’ a post to the frontpage, so by default they’re not. Also I’d like all (incl. non-promoted) posts to appear in the ‘recent post’ which I’ve got in my column.

Cheers for the last advice but has anyone got any other ideas?

ok cheers. i’m all abit new to wordpress so i’ll give it a try and let you guys know ??
