How to remove post from home page

[JohnnFour]

Hi, I'm using Genesis => Minimum Child Theme.

My home page is set to "Front Page Displays: Your Latest Posts".

That works great.

But there are some posts I'd prefer to exclude from the home page, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that.

It's ok for the posts to be public, they're just not home page material, is all.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

are you wanting to exclude some categories posts from home page?

If you want exclude the category then use this in functions.php file

/** Exclude certain category from posts */
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'be_exclude_category_from_home' );
function be_exclude_category_from_home( $query ) {

    if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-156' ); //use your category ID
    }
}

If you want exclude the some specific posts then use this in functions.php file

/** Exclude certain posts from home page*/
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'be_exclude_post_from_home' );
function be_exclude_post_from_home( $query ) {

    if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
        $query->set( 'p', '-26' ); //use your post ID
    }
}

I don't think that 2nd code snippet works based on my testing @genwrock.

Yeah, the behaviour was unexpected. It's an inclusion type function really, but in that way it's exclusive. 🙂

So I created a Category called Feature and added the id to the function. Now my home page displays only posts categorized as Feature, which is perfect for my use case.
