Still cant get this to work. Of course getting a reply in the support forums would be a miracle but here goes.

This is my home.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id="content">

<strong>// original query runs in The (real) Loop first
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    // detect posts matching our exclusion criteria
  <?php if (in_category(1)) {
        $wp_query->post_count++; // increment the post counter
        continue;
    }
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
// now make a new query and show the posts for real, with the adjusted post count and filtering
<?php $my_new_query = new WP_Query($query_string.'&showposts='.$wp_query->post_count); ?>
// do another The Loop (and display the results this time)
<?php while ( $my_new_query->have_posts() ) : $my_new_query->the_post();
    // detect and exclude these same posts
    <?php if (in_category(1)) { continue; }</strong>

The part of bolded is where I should be setting this up. All I want is for posts only in one category to display on the frontpage and for the counter to be updates so there are always 10 “Scripts” post on the frontpage.

Any help would be a godsend.

I have similiar code on the front page and would like to exclude all categories bar one.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
  if($post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

I only want posts from “Scripts” category to come up on the homepage, and I dont want the hidden posts to be subtracted from the number of posts I want on the front page either, ie 10…still not sure how to work the code into that loop.

Figured out the solution, just in case it helps anyone here it is.

<?php if (is_page(array('Freebies', 'Basic Comparison', 'Advanced Comparison'))) : ?>
<?php if (function_exists('sociable_html')) {
  echo sociable_html();
} ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

still cant get this one to work, just not sure why its throwing an error.

I also tried the most_commented plugin and tried this.

<?php if (in_category(‘Scripts’)&&function_exists(‘mdv_most_commented’)) mdv_most_commented(); ?>

That didnt work either.

Anyone got a solution for this one? Should i be using in_category somewhere? Ive tried everything i can think of to get it only to display “Script” items.
