Hi,

I want to hide category "news" from posts page.

News can´t be displayed in center column or in sidebar.

How I can hide category?

I am using:

Atahualpa 3.4.9
WordPress 2.9.2

Plugins:
Blog in Blog
Widget Logic

Were you able to get a reply to this, i am looking for the solutoin too !!

In ATO/Style and Edit Center Column/Content Above the Loop, I entered:

<?php if (is_front_page() && !is_paged() )
     $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-15,-80'); ?>

This prevents posts from categories 15 and 80 from appearing in the list of front page posts in the center column.

Then I use the Enhanced Recent Posts plugin multiple times as a sidebar widget, to display a certain number of posts from several categories that I do want to show up in the sidebar. Another plugin, Widget Logic, directs which pages these widgets show up on.

Thanks paulae for the php code and the offered plugins.

Hi, I also want to do something like this but I don't know how. I want some categories to appear only as search results. In other words, I don't want some categories to constantly appear in the front-page, but to appear in the front-page only when they are search results.

The Widget Context plugin should help you do that: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/
