    Hi there,

    Just wondering if theres a way to exclude a post category from the News Section on the homepage. I’ve got some posts appearing on the front page I’d like to remove.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hello @janekkrause

    Copy the below code and paste it in functions.php file, right before the ?> (at the bottom of the file).

    function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set('cat', '-6');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');

    Set your category eg: If your category id is 6 then write it like

    If you want to exclude more than one category then set it like:
    $query->set('cat', '-3,-5,-23');

    Regards

    Thanks @wbcomdesigns
