Create a second Page Like a "Blog"

[pfitznerk]

Sorry all the suggestions you made did not work.

I had to add the functions.php to exclude a category from my blog.

Thanks for trying....

if you are getting the white screen it means you deleted extra code or did not delete all of your custom code. You can change out the functions.php file with the default code and the screen should come back just fine.

I am not sure why this isn't working for you but I can create add the custom code I provided just fine and I have a recent posts widget with exclude options.

as for your exclude category from the homepage, you need to modify the numbers for your category id

<?php
function excludeCat($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set('cat', '-3,-5,-23');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');
?>

change the -3, -5, -23 to the categories you want to change.
