Hello
I'd like to have only a specific category displaying in my blog page template.
I went to the Genesis menu ---> Theme Settings and I selected the All Posts category I created as seen in the photo below.
However, the Uncategorized category (which I don't want to appear) still appears on page six of my blog (http://www.vangelisphotography.com/blog/page/6/)
Any ideas why this is happening? I'm using Sixteen Nine theme.
Thanks

Vangelisremove those posts from Uncategorized category if you already assigned them.
Thank you genwrock for your reply!
The "Uncategorized" category (or I can name it any other name), is the one I don't want to appear on my blog.
I want the posts under the "Uncategorized" category to be hidden and show up only if someone has the specific URL to them.All the other posts I want to appear on my blog, are under the All Posts category.
When I select the All Posts category to show up, this doesn't work. Instead all categories show up including the Uncategorized one. Hope I didn't confuse you with my description!
Ok. Then put the “Uncategorized” category ID in the "Exclude the following Category IDs:" textbox
Tried that as well. The ID is 119. I put that in "Exclude the following Category IDs:" textbox and nothing happens...
Maybe it's a plugin or something? Have you heard of something like this before?I think that ID is wrong. It will be 1
It's not 1. I know how to find Categories and Tags IDs. Anyway I'll try creating a custom page template of a category.
UPDATE
I used the following code (found at http://www.wpstuffs.com/exclude-posts-category-front-page-genesis/) in functions.php and it worked!
/** Exclude certain category from posts */
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'be_exclude_category_from_blog' );
function be_exclude_category_from_blog( $query ) {if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '-156' );
}
}
