    Hello, I have an issue… I have about 30 categories on my site, I’ve excluded all of them from the homepage (using plugins like Ultimate Category Excluder ) – all but one (it’s a “news” category). But sometimes, my client wants to have post from a different category to be shown on the homepage. I’ve tried to put one post into two categories – logical, isn’t it? But it doesn’t work with such plugins ?? If a post is ONLY in the “news ” category – it shows on the home page. If its in the “news” and “other” category – it doesn’t show on the homepage. Can you help somehow? I’ve tried various plugins for excluding categories from the homepage, but all of them work the same way.

    Ok, I’ve resolve the issue by adding the following code do the funcions.php file:

    function my_home_category( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( 'cat', '11'); } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_home_category' );

    note that you should put your wanted cat id in the

    set( 'cat', '11');

    part.

    If you would like to include more than one category, then just add another ID by inserting a comma and the ID number. For example, this is will display category 11 and category 14.

    $query->set( 'cat', ’11, 14’ );
