Exclude category

    I’ve been using the fix posted by JGeo a year ago for excluding a category, and then re-implementing that fix with each update of the plugin. Unfortunately, I can no longer get that fix to work and I’m not sure how to get the results I need. It is imperative for our site that I be able to exclude 1 category from the recent posts.

    We love this plugin and want to keep using it. Would you please add the ability to exclude 1 or more categories to the plugin via a dropdown in the widget, and/or post a code snippet here so I can make the fix myself in the meantime? I’d gladly make a donation to not have to rework the plugin code each time. ??

    thanks,
    Luann

    Hi, Luann! That’s a great question.

    I’ve added a filter called recent_posts_with_excerpts_query to the plugin in 2.5.2, which I’m uploading now. You can use it a lot like pre_get_posts, but it’ll be specific to this widget. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin file:

    add_filter('recent_posts_with_excerpts_query', 'my_excluded_cat');
function my_excluded_cat($query) {
  $query->set( 'cat', '-1,-1347' );
}
