how to exclude a tag or category in default blog page

[Gandam]

Hi,
I haven been creating different category pages and I was thinking if you could help me to avoid the specific category/tag displaying on default blog page, so it doesn’t repeatedly show in default blog page. In any new page I can manage to set up a different “data source” to narrow its displaying on frontend, but not for default blog page, so how do I do it?! I can’t find any similar topics from your support. Thank you for providing us excellent support always.

Hello,

1. Activate Kleo Child Theme.

2. Then replace index.php from child theme with this file ( see attachment ).

3. Open the index.php look for $hidecategories = ‘cat=-1,-2,-3’; ( line 26 )

Replace -1 with id from category do you want to hide if you want to hide only one category the code will be like this : $hidecategories = ‘cat=-1’; but if you have more than one category to hide code will be like this : $hidecategories = ‘cat=-1,-2,-3’;

Let me know if it works.

Cheers

@Radu – thanks for your help. I am not sure if I am doing this right, but nothing has changed after I replaced index file and amended this line to $hidecategories = ‘cat=-events′; is category id same as category name? Pls advise, thanks again.

@Radu – I’ve managed to get category id, it works!! great help, thanks!!:)

Hello,

I added in your kelo-child/functions.php this function that will exclude certain categories.

COPY CODE

function exclude_category_home( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-2,-80' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category_home' );

If you want to add more categories, just separate them with commas.

Let me know if is ok.

Cheers

A small thing, just re assign a blog page from Settings -> Readings -> Front page displays -> Posts page.

@Radu – Everything seems to be in working order, pagination is working as well, thank you so much!! 🙂

I was able to make the change…

But it’s not paginating correctly… it just respawns the blog posts every time…every page.

brandmediastudio.com – click on articles… to see.

Thoughts?
