Filter/Exclude Bolg Category from standard /blog page

macmacs

Hello again,

now I have a little question:
Is it somehow possible, to exclude a certain blog category from the default /blog landing page/list?
Something like an inverted archive list

I would like to add some private blog posts which shouldn't be visible nor listed for the "standard" guest. Additional to that, I would like to add a menu item which links to only this category (which already works with archive).

If this was possible somehow, it would be GREAT

Regards,
Max

Hello:-)

This rather Wordpress question then theme:-) You will have to make custom Wordpress query to make it work. I think there should be any plugin that helps with it, but on my quick search I didn't find anything interesting.

If I find anything I will post it here.

With regards.

Hi, thank's for the quick hint!!
I edited the loop.php and added one line:

... global $apollo13;
?>
<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-XXX'); ?>
<?php /* If there are no posts to display, such as an empty archive page */ ?>
....

where XXX is the number of the category.

I have to check, whether it works everywhere.
