    Hey!

    I’d like to hide a certain category (namely “administrative”) from the categories list on the startpage.

    I’ve been searching the forums but couldn’t find a similar problem — most people want to hide all posts from a certain category which is now what I want to do. Instead I want to post “administrative notices” from time to time and I want them to be completely and regularly listed among all other posts. I even want a visitor to be able to see all other “administrative” posts if they feel they need to and click on the “filed under administrative” link below a post.

    But: I don’t want “administrative” to show up on the categories list on the startpage.

    <– clueless ??

    Thanks!

  • When you are clueless – the Codex is your best friend ??

    Read, compare… (which one is used in your theme). Edit (hint “exclude” parameter).

    Edit. And while being in the Codex, don’t forget to check out the Conditional Tags – if you want changes only on your main/home page.

    Great, thanks a million!

    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_col(...)ical=0&exclude=2'); ?>

    … did the trick!

    I would have NEVER EVER found it there without your hint! ??

    <– still clueless but satisfied with the result now

    Thanks again!
