    Hello, I’m trying to exclude a category of posts from the main page but the code doesn’t seem to work.

    <?php    if ( is_home() ) {
                        query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-3');
                    }
            ?>

            <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
                <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>... etc.

    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. :S

  • global $wp_query;
query_posts(
	array_merge(
		array('cat' => -3),
		$wp_query->query
	)
);

    Hello, I tried that and it didn’t work. All the posts under category 3 still appear. :S

    Add the ‘&cat=-3’ to the $query_string variable.

    For example;

    $query_string = "posts_per_page=5&cat=-3';
query_posts($query_string); 

}

?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
                <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>... etc.

    First line should be:

    $query_string = "posts_per_page=5&cat=-3";
