Exclude Single Category in WordPress
If you ever need to exclude a single category from a WordPress page (archives, index, category page, etc) you can easily do so by using a little conditional tag code within the WordPress loop.
The example below will skip over any post that is in the category with the ID of 35:
PHP:
-
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
-
<?php if (in_category('35')) continue; ?>
-
<?php the_content(); ?>
-
<?php endwhile;endif;?>
This can be helpful if you want to not show a particular category in your blog (if you have a category based site setup) - or if you want to hide some categories from your search results.
That should be IN, not IS, in_category
Good catch – I have corrected my mistype.
Not working with version 2.6.1 . And I don’t know why…
It is still working fine for me in 2.6.1. Feel free to email me (see contact form) with your theme file if you want some input.
To exclude a category from the loop on the front page, find this code:
and change it to this:
This will exclude posts in category number four from being displayed on the front page.
NOTE: This will also solve previous and next entry links ( pagination ) with above code.
Sorry posting again as it isn’t showing code
