Exclude a certain category in a post

I’d like to know how to do this as well.

There might be a way to do this using get_the_tags. Modifying the codex example:

<?php
$ignore_tags = array("general", "another-tag-slug");
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
if( !in_array($tag->slug, $ignore_tags) ) {
echo $tag->slug . ' ';
}
}
}
?>

Referencing the codex, you could presumably do this by defining id numbers too. I haven’t tested the above but would imagine it’d work?

Incidentally, is there a reason why you are not just removing the ‘general’ tag from these posts, or in fact removing the tag entirely?
