I changed the code to this:

function exclude_category( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘category_name=services’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’ );

And the posts still appear.

Ok, I figured out the error (The function was being declared twice). Now the page loads but, it is not excluding the category on the page as I had hoped.

To be honest, I am not sure. I am just getting an Error 500 on the homepage.

Ok. If I replace it with this:

function exclude_category( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-4’ );
}
}

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’ );

I still get an error.

Thanks for the guidance. I am going to chew on this and see if I can get a vision.

Not sure where to begin with that direction. The filter is added where?

It looks like a piece of code to remove titles. Am I reading that correctly?

Sorry about that. I am wanting to use thumbnails for the navigation that I generate and not those that WordPress creates. Does that make sense?

Thanks. That is part of it but, running the loop to populate both columns is the other question in this.

Do you mind sharing this? I need a similar solution.

I have actually copied the 2010 theme so that wouldn’t happen. How do you theme the archives specifically? Since the 2010 theme uses loop.php pretty exclusively, I assumed you would style the archives in there but, I have not found any code for it.

Do you have to create a child theme in order to style the archives?

Wow. I guess the validators don’t see those as well as I thought they would. Thanks very much for seeing that.

Did not know about category templates. Thanks!
