[ sorry for triple posting. ]

Here is what my index.php looks like.
I want to exclude categories 1,3,5,and 7.

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php
   if (is_home()) {
      query_posts("cat=-1,-3,-5,-7");
   }
?>

Is this right?

Thanks for any help.

So, I have to create my own theme to be able to put certain posts on certain pages?
Or are themes and templates different?

Okay, I will take a look at those links.

Thank you so much esmi for being so helpful on these threads. ??

My other topic was closed, but it was not the same question.
Here is my other question:

” I am currently developing a website that contains articles, and articles within those articles.
I was planning to create a Page named Articles, and have the articles set up as posts. Are sub-posts possible? Is there a hack or widget that I would need to install? I would really like to get this issue resolved soon. ??

Thank you. ”

So, the .htaccess is a file?
Is it the index.php file?
I’m not sure I understand how to find the .htaccess.

Okay, so I go into cpanel>file manager>public_html>wordpress and then.. where would the .htaccess be, and what do I change the permissions to?

Sorry if my questions are ridiculous, I’ve only ever made websites out of images and simple HTML/CSS stylesheets. Lol.

Okay, I will try that, but first..
Once I change the custom permalink to, say, numeric.. it tells me “You should update your .htaccess now.”
I feel silly asking this, but what exactly is it telling me to do? Could that be breaking my links?

Okay, the pages work when the permalinks are set on default, but not on any other setting.

Yes, I installed three themes and twenty-one plugins.

Thanks for helping me ??
