Wordpress Gurus... Help Me Please... Exclude Category Posts!

I'm trying to exclude a category from displaying it's post on the pages of my blog... I can get it work but when I do you can't navagate to other older posts :mad:

Here is the code I'm taking from wordpress help...

Code:

<?php

   if (is_home()) {

      query_posts("cat=-3");

   }

?>

And I'm adding it before the loop

Code:

                                <div id="content">

                                                   (INSERTING ABOVE CODE ON THIS LINE)        

                                        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>        

                                                <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

What am I doing wrong

Thanks in advance for the help :thumbsup

you have to handle pagination

Code:

<?php if (is_home()) {

$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;

query_posts(“cat=-3&paged=$paged”);

} ?>

there's also a plugin that does it all.
Look for "Simply Exclude"

Just tryed that code Fris and I get
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '='
Any idea what the problem could be?

are you closing the call properly? The code fris posted is correct and should work, it's the common solution used for your problem as developed by Kafkaesqui, one of WP main developers.

Anyway, alternatively you may try this with the is_home approach to see if it works (change is_archive to true if needed):

Code:



<?php

$limit = 10;

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

query_posts('cat=-3&paged=$paged' . '&posts_per_page=10' .'showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $paged);

$wp_query->is_archive = false; $wp_query->is_home = true;

?>

aaah, now that I take a closer look to the code fris posted I see the problem. Instead of copy/pasting the code as fris posted, do it like this:

Code:

<?php if (is_home()) {

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

query_posts("cat=-3&paged=$paged");

} ?>

just a formatting problem

some people like to get away without using as many plugins as possible, but advanced category excluder is a good one.

I didn't miss it but I'd rather use plugins for the big stuff rather then bloat my blog with a bunch of plugins... especially when it only a few words of code and some help to get it working right!
