Category conflict

    I want to feature on the front page posts belonging to category A.

    I have a few posts that belong at the same time to category A and B. They will not show unless I add category B to the front page. Which in turn would make the front page show posts from category B, which I don’t want.

    In other words, is there a way to tell the plugin to fetch all articles from category A, regardless of wether or not they also belong to other categories, rather than fetching articles that are exclusively category A?

    Thank you.

    Hi there – I am afraid there’s no way to do that with this plugin unfortunately.

    What the plugin actually does is it inverts the selection, it doesn’t ‘show’ the ticked categories, it ‘hides’ the unticked ones.

    So, it will hide anything that’s in category B.

    I think switching to an inclusive mode such as you suggest would be logical so I am going to see if I can work out a way to make that happen. It’ll take some time though and I don’t know when it will be ready since I will need to make sure it doesn’t change anyones site unintentionally.

    Yeah fair enough, I can see how that might be tricky. Maybe a solution would be to keep the exclusion system by default (as it is equally useful) so that sites currently using it won’t see a change, but add an option to toggle the inclusion system for those who need that?

    Anyway, thanks for the reply!
