    Hi Alx,
    First of all thanks a lot for your both the trhemes–Hueman and Anew.
    I want to remove posts of some categories not to appear in the ‘recent posts’ tab of ‘Alx tabs widget'(set in my site‘s left sidebar). As of now, it is not possible to multiple select the categories to appear in Alx tab widget and hence not possible to deselect a particular category.
    Please help!.

  • Hi! Thanks ??

    You should be able to exclude categories like that in WP_Query of the widget, but for that you’d need to edit /functions/widgets/alx-tabs.php and locate:

    &cat='.$instance["recent_cat_id"].'

    And add the minus-category code as explained in the thread above and see if it works!

    Where can I get the category id?
    I have checked from the db tables for terms_id and put the required category number as mentioned there.

    I have edited the code as follows:-
    From
    &cat='.$instance["recent_cat_id"].'
    To
    &cat='.$instance["cat=-60"].'
    But, no change happened.
    Please help!

    UPDATE:-
    Oh, it was a mistake from my end. I have edited that correctly as follows:-
    From:-

    ‘&cat=’.$instance[“recent_cat_id”].’

    To:-

    ‘&cat=’.$instance[“recent_cat_id”].’&cat=-60′.

    And voila! It works perfectly! I also able to deselect any number of categories by adding more &cat=-...
    Thanks a lot Alx for the valuable link and feedback.
    But, it will be more appreciated if that can be incorporated directly in the selection field from the Dashboard rather than editing the code everytime to deselect a category

    Thanks for sharing a working solution! I’ll keep this in mind for future updates.
