Hi, I’ve used this plugin on my website as I wanted to subdivide my content across my site. Eg. a blogroll ‘look-alike’ for travel, and then on for interviews. I’ve excluded these categories from the traditional blogroll but now these categoriess don’t appear in my Mailchimp RSS feed. Can you help please?

BTW: looking at the code,I see you checking ‘is_home’, which might explain a banned post from not showing in the widget, since the widget is on the home page. However (via another plugin) I have the Recent Posts widget on a separate page and the post links don’t display.

Very useful plugin. One suggestion/question.

If a category is excluded from the Front Page, it is also excluded from WP’s default Recent Posts widget. Is there any way to exclude from the Front Page but have the link show in Recent Posts?

Thank you

the seamless infinite scroll comes from my theme (themeforest-Clipboard by visualkicks)

Hello,
thank’s for the plug-in ! it works with a “standart pagination” but with a “seamless infinite scroll”, there are display bugs, some posts are duplicated. Is there a solution?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Mike

I will add a few more categories and child categories and test again. So basically if I have a post in a category with a child category (where the post is included in both) and exclude the child category it will exclude both (because the post is included in both?)

Or, are you saying if I include a post in main cat (as a dummy post) but not in the child then this should show on the homepage? Sorry to sound so confusing but I am testing a wordpress theme called the navigator and I am attempting to include only top level categories in a homepage map and link these to child category pages (otherwise the top level map becomes a mess)

Thanks again,

Andrew

Hi Andrew, Hmmm, on my setup, excluding a child category doesn’t affect the main (parent) category. Do you have at least one post that is in the Main category and is not in the child category? Send me your system info (found at the bottom of the Category Exclusions page). Mike

Hello,

Is it possible to only exclude child categories form a homepage. For example,

New York State (main cat)
–New York City (child cat)

When I click to exclude the child cat the main cat disappears too.

Thanks

Is there a way to exclude a category from showing up in the post_meta section of a post? I have a category that i’m using for more of a back-end function, and I don’t want it showing up in the list of categories that it’s “filed under” on the font-end. I was looking for some sort of add_filter or something, but can’t seem to find anything.
