if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

I believe this is the code that posts my posts in the blog

i tried your code again but no luck…hope you can help me with this…thanks so much

In the meantime, replace those “?” with single a single quote ‘. Also, sometimes when code snippets get posted, they auto format into curly/angled quotes. Replace these curly ones in your code with a single quote that appears vertical. I retested in WP 2.9 and it’s working 100%:

if (ID == '179' || ID == '180' || ID == '181') continue;

I tried having this code

ID == ‘179? || ID == ‘328? || ID == ‘325?) continue; ?>

however my posts are still showing in the homepage. those are my 3 posts that i don’t wish to be seen im my home page. how will i achieve this ?

Try this using your cat IDs (tested in WP 2.9):

if (ID == ‘179′ || ID == ‘180′ || ID == ‘181′) continue;

There may be a more streamlined way, but the ID will never be equal to an array, so ID == ‘179,180,181′ will always be false.

Hope it helps!
