    Hello once again. I am sure this question must’ve been asked in the past. I want to build a category where I can post only pictures. BUt unlike other categories, I do not want the pictures to be seen on the home page. For instance, these images will be seen only when the user clicks on the ‘Photos’ category on the sidebar.

    Is there a plugin or a hack that anyone can suggest. Also please direct me to any similar sounding post on this forum if you have. ??

    Thanks.

  • You will want to read about The Loop, and The Loop in Action to learn how to suppress your photos category from the main page.

    Take time to read that codex. It has taught me how to do for myself what I was looking here for instructions with… You will need to go into your php file and change some things… like I said, that codex page is a lifesaver!

    thanks Skippy. I will go through the articles :))

    Davejenbarnes, history has proved that I am a better designer than a developer. I like WP because of its simplicity and ease of use, not to mention the availability of themes :)) Anyways, thanks for the comments, I will defintely try and improve upon my skills by visiting Codex regularly :))

    I will keep this thread unresolved for sometime, in case someone has some more inputs to provide :))

    Ok..I found a decent plugin that more or less satisfies my needs. It’s called “Show On frontpage” plugin (https://www.richardgoodwin.com/wp/2005/01/08/new-plugin-showonfrontpage/). I have installed it on my blog. There are some issues though which I would like to point, in case you guys can help me out.

    The idea was to create an images blog, with nothing but an image and a few descriptive lines of the same. This category would not be visible on the home page (this is where this plugin comes handy). If you check the link https://www.bhooshan.net > Photos (under caetgory) you’ll realise that it doesn’t show the images first up (one needs to click on the permalink to view them) but it shows the text instantly. What can be the problem here?
