    Hi,
    I'm using the Bee Crafty theme and I want to only have posts with the category "homepage" show up on my homepage. I went to Genesis - Theme Settings - Blog Page Template and selected the homepage category to display, but all my posts are displaying regardless of their category. The site in question is http://chocolatemakingfun.com.
    I set the homepage to show my latest posts. Is this the correct setting?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried excluding the other categories by ID underneath the dropdown? I've never had luck with the dropdown itself but excluding seems to work well for me.

    I have tried that and it didn't work. Thanks, though.

    If all else fails, you could always install the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin. It's super easy to use.
