I changed my code and while it hid the category on my blog, all of the posts are still visible in my feed. I’m not sure of what might have caused the change in the order of your feed’s posts. Maybe you accidentally added or deleted a bit of code which affected the order?

Thanks Ankush but I was able to find a solution which fit my exact needs and only required a little bit of code. It was able to hide the category from both the sidebar and the blog posts page. Here’s the link:

I was able to find a solution for excluding the category from my blog post page. The instructions and code can be found at this link:

Hello Ankush,

Thanks for replying. However, the Simply Exclude plugin won’t work for my needs because my blog posts are not displayed on the home page. The front page displays a static home page and the posts page is shown on a page called “blog”. I need to exclude the category from the category list and exclude its posts from the post pages.

My Home Page: nnmportfolio.com
My Blog Page: nnmportfolio.com/blog

Hello Dalton,

You’re right, I tried one of the default themes and it worked fine so it has to be the theme. I’ll deactive the plugin and add it back in if I create a new theme. I really appreciate that you took the time to try to help.

Thank you,

Natasha

Hello Dalton,

Thank you again, I overlooked that the difference between the code was wp_footer and get_footer I checked everything and copied in the code where you said I should but its still not working. Just to double check, I’ve tried variations of the following:

Footer.php
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<php wp_footer(); ?>

index.php
<?php get_footer();?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

The present code:

Footer

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>

Index
<?php get_footer();?>

Hello Dalton,

First off, thank you for replying to my inquiry. I apologize for the delay of my response but I didnt receive a notification email to let me know that you responded.

At the time that I posted my inquiry and link, I had tried two fixes which didnt work and it probably led to the code showing as
<php wp_footer();?>. I removed one of the fixes and the images are currently displayed as a list with non-functioning next/prev button and the code in the footer file is currently <?php get_footer();?>. An example can be found here: https://nnmportfolio.com/photography/holiday-windows-2009

I get the feeling that I’m probably overlooking something but I’d greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

First off, great plugin, thank you for developing it. Unfortunately, I recently changed to a custom theme and the plugin stopped working. At first the images appeared as a list below the prev/next buttons. I followed the steps you’ve provided in another post and the images are no longer listed, only the first image appears but the prev/next buttons are not working. I also followed the steps you’ve provided here to fix non-functioning prev/next buttons but it didnt work.

I’d greatly appreciate your help with solving this problem. An example of the problem can be found here: https://nnmportfolio.com/commercial-photography/holiday-windows-2009
