Trying to exclude a category from list

  • Hi, I love this plugin and it works really well – but on one of my pages I’m trying exclude those posts with the slug ‘archived-info’ and have tried using both the minus sign and the exclude option suggested but with no luck. Can you let me know what I’m doing wrong?

    Many thanks!

    ‘[catlist name=latest-news, -archived-info posts_morelink=”Read more…”]’

  • I would try to eliminate the whitespace after the comma. Otherwise it’s not clear, that it belongs to the name attribute. If that does not work, try using “-7” or sth. like that instead, what should be the caterory’s internal number.

    EDIT: NO, sorry. Seems that the plugin does not support excluding categories. At least it’s not possible via the name attribute.

    The Other notes page says:
    exclude a category with the minus sign (-): [catlist id=11,-32,16].

    Yes. That’s the way it works. Use the id attribute, e.g.: [catlist id=-5] where “-5” has to be your internal category number.

    ok, thanks very much! That works! ??

    Does this work in reverse? If you want to display ALL the latest posts in your blog no matter what the category is, and then you just X out the category you don’t want?

    [catlist id=-5]

    ?
