I've just installed Genesis 2.0 and Eleven40 Pro on a new site. I've worked with themes & previous versions of Genesis and while I can sometimes reason things out (and I'm a master at copy & paste) I cannot fathom out how to remove a specific category from the home.php grid loop. I know I've managed to hack/slash/copy/paste something to exclude a category in the past (on a past site which is no longer available) but I'm not getting anywhere with it this time.
You know... sometimes I just don't fart around with these things. I use a plugin called Simply Exclude and it does the trick for me for excluding things all over the place.

Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
Thanks @anitac - I'll keep the plugin in mind but I'd prefer to find a way to do this using the functions/grid loop rather than a plugin if at all possible.
I know you said you'd rather do it in the loop, but here's another plugin option (I found Simply Exclude did NOT work for me).
merlene, did you ever find a solution? I had it working on a site a while back, I think with some code from Brad Dalton. But now it's not working.
try this code in your functions.php file
add_filter('genesis_grid_loop_args', 'exclude_category_from_home'); function exclude_category_from_home($args){ $args['cat'] = '-2'; //Please add your category id return $args; }
That didn't work for me. Here's my entire functions.php file.
<?php //* Start the engine include_once( get_template_directory() . '/lib/init.php' ); //* Set Localization (do not remove) load_child_theme_textdomain( 'eleven40', apply_filters( 'child_theme_textdomain', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages', 'eleven40' ) ); //* Child theme (do not remove) define( 'CHILD_THEME_NAME', __( 'eleven40 Pro Theme', 'eleven40' ) ); define( 'CHILD_THEME_URL', 'http://my.studiopress.com/themes/eleven40/' ); define( 'CHILD_THEME_VERSION', '2.0' ); //* Add HTML5 markup structure add_theme_support( 'html5' ); //* Add viewport meta tag for mobile browsers add_theme_support( 'genesis-responsive-viewport' ); //* Load Lora and Oswald Google fonts add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'eleven40_google_fonts' ); function eleven40_google_fonts() { wp_enqueue_style( 'google-font', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,700|Oswald:400', array(), PARENT_THEME_VERSION ); } //* Add new featured image size add_image_size( 'grid-featured', 270, 100, TRUE ); //* Add support for custom header add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array( 'width' => 320, 'height' => 65, 'header-selector' => '.site-header .title-area', 'header-text' => false ) ); //* Add support for structural wraps add_theme_support( 'genesis-structural-wraps', array( 'header', 'nav', 'subnav', 'site-inner', 'footer-widgets', 'footer' ) ); //* Add support for additional color styles add_theme_support( 'genesis-style-selector', array( 'eleven40-pro-blue' => __( 'eleven40 Pro Blue', 'eleven40' ), 'eleven40-pro-green' => __( 'eleven40 Pro Green', 'eleven40' ), 'eleven40-pro-red' => __( 'eleven40 Pro Red', 'eleven40' ) ) ); //* Reposition the site description remove_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'genesis_seo_site_description' ); //* add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_seo_site_description' ); //* Reposition the primary navigation menu remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' ); add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_do_nav' ); //* Reposition the secondary navigation menu remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' ); add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_do_subnav' ); //* Add support for 3-column footer widgets add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 ); // Home Category Removal add_filter('genesis_grid_loop_args', 'exclude_category_from_home'); function exclude_category_from_home($args){ $args['cat'] = '-7'; //Please add your category id return $args; } // AG ADDED // Register Genesis Menus add_theme_support ( 'genesis-menus' , array ( 'primary' => 'Primary Navigation Menu' , 'secondary' => 'Secondary Navigation Menu' ,'mobile' => 'Mobile Navigation Menu' ) ); // Add Support for Structural Wraps add_theme_support( 'genesis-structural-wraps', array( 'header', 'nav', 'menu-mobile', 'subnav', 'site-inner', 'footer-widgets', 'footer') ); add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'gst_do_mobilenav' ); /** * Create the Mobile Navigation Menu. * * @author Brad Potter * * @link http://www.bradpotter.com * * Based on code from the StudioPress Genesis Framework 2.0 */ function gst_do_mobilenav() { //* Do nothing if menu not supported if ( ! genesis_nav_menu_supported( 'mobile' ) ) return; //* If menu is assigned to theme location, output if ( has_nav_menu( 'mobile' ) ) { $class = 'menu genesis-nav-menu menu-mobile'; if ( genesis_superfish_enabled() ) $class .= ' js-superfish'; $args = array( 'theme_location' => 'mobile', 'container' => '', 'menu_class' => $class, 'echo' => 0, ); $mobilenav = wp_nav_menu( $args ); //* Do nothing if there is nothing to show if ( ! $mobilenav ) return; $mobilenav_markup_open = genesis_markup( array( 'html5' => '<nav %s>', 'xhtml' => '<div id="mobilenav">', 'context' => 'nav-mobile', 'echo' => false, ) ); $mobilenav_markup_open .= genesis_structural_wrap( 'menu-mobile', 'open', 0 ); $mobilenav_markup_close = genesis_structural_wrap( 'menu-mobile', 'close', 0 ); $mobilenav_markup_close .= genesis_html5() ?

what is your site URL? Home page is using the grid loop?
Ah! Please remove my code. It will not work that way.
This is what i use.
Please copy ALL the code from the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++
Change the category i.d to your own.
This code includes the is_home() conditional tag which returns true on your posts page according to your Reading Settings.
Brad (or anyone): This is close to what I want to do on the Eleven40 theme.
The default is for it to pick up EVERY category on home page. I want to exclude ALL but one of them. Another way to say this is that I only want to show just one of the categories.
What magic code will do that for me?
============ UPDATE ===========
============ UPDATE ===========
============ UPDATE ===========I found it. The minus sign means "exclude" I took it off and that means "include":
$query->set( 'cat', '3' );
(3 is the category ID of the posts I want to display.)
Hope this helps someone.
I've added this code here http://dudemom.com/ trying to exclude category 3119 from the homepage. I added the code to functions.php (currently) after trying home.php with neither removing it from home.
Will this not work with the balance theme?
It only works on the home page which is determined by your Reading > Settings for the Posts Page.
