Have you ever used WordPress posts for something other than a blog post? I use them for FAQ pages, but I don’t want the FAQs to show up in the main blog, so I added this into the theme functions.php. It can also be used in a new plugin.
(?? = category id number)
function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home )
$query->set('cat', '-??');
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
The minus sign in front of the category id means don’t include.

Thank you Steph for the code. Will use it since i want to keep some categories away from the home page. I was not very sure where to add this code though figured out later! Maybe not many people are WordPress-stupid as I am…

Hiya, Thanks for the code, it works perfectly! I was wondering if you also knew how to keep certain categories out of other parts of the website like recent post widgets at the footer and sidebar, etc. Thanks again for your post, best,

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. It worked perfectly for my needs and saved me a huge headache. Keep up the great work!
