Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to hide blog posts from a specific category or categories on the home page?
For example, My blog is http://www.minterest.com/ and on the homepage all you see is daily mashups so I want to hide all blog posts from the categoryhttp://www.minterest.com/category/minteresting/.

<?php if ( is_home() ) { query_posts( 'cat=-1' ); } ?>here...
`genesis_before` Hook
This hook executes immediately after the opening `` tag.Right?

I think it will solve my issue... I want to try Option 2 (that's by using hooks).
But can you please tell me which hook should I use?
More specifically... where exactly should I place the code
<?php if ( is_home() ) { query_posts( 'cat=-1' ); } ?>
before the closing </head> tag, before the closing </body> tag, after the opening <body> tag. or somewhere else?
Thanks!

vCard — http://www.maheshone.com/Hi there,
I used the code "<?php if ( is_home() ) { query_posts( ‘cat=-1′ ); } ?>"
And placed in the genesis_before Hook and it says this hook executes immediately after the opening <body> tag.
And I noticed that the blog posts from that particular category was not showing on the home page. But... I was unable to browse the pages... it was showing the homepage posts itself when I click on Page 2, 3, etc.

vCard — http://www.maheshone.com/All the code in the tutorial provides different methods to hide specific categories from your home or blog page.
You will need to modify the code with the category i.d's for your specific needs.
The code I have provided is tested and works in your child themes functions.php file rather than Simple Hooks.
Hi,
I'm bad with coding... can anyone help me with this?
I have pasted the child theme functions.php here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fX_WQz_WSOwSH37Txmf4pLTyvMKslrQsnyFZaTaVQi4/edit [Anyone Can View & Edit This File]
Can anyone place the necessary codes (pasted below) at the right place? I want to remove only one category.
//Code for one category
<?php if ( is_home() ) { query_posts( 'cat=-1' ); } ?>

I tried that and it gave the error...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/interest/public_html/wp-content/themes/focus/functions.php on line 36
I used the following code...
/** Remove a category from home page*/
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'remove_posts_in_category_on_blog' );
function remove_posts_in_category_on_blog( $query ) {global $wp_the_query;
if( $wp_the_query === $query && $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '-311' );
}}

Please copy the code using the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++.
All my code works because its all tested.
Just tested it again locally and it works without errors.
Code not displaying? Grab it on Github.
This code was tested on Genesis and excludes all posts from displaying on the home page which are in the category with i.d 18.
You will need to change the 18 to your own category i.d.
Finally, it worked!
Thanks a ton! 🙂
