How to hide a category from Blog

[anaventura]

I need to hide “featured’ category posts from the blog. (I need them to show up only on a dedicated plugin I installed)

How can I do that?

the blog is under http://www.kaeciconcept.com/blog

and the page where we want the ‘featured’ category posts is

Press Kit

 

Tks very much!

Ana

Hi,

Sorry we don’t know how to use the plugin you used. You can ask plugin plugin author they better than us for this case.

You can change menu “name” of page you want to featured blog to “Blog” and hide current “Blog” menu.

and go to Settings > Reading > Change to select to hide default blog layout http://prntscr.com/hapuk1

tks very much Harry! Actually I found a solution that worked .  i’ll share here in case others may want the same.

You can edit the functions.php file :

Add this code to the very end of the file before closing php tag ?> and replace 6 with the category ID (that you want to omit from blog):

function exclude_category( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-6’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’ );

Thank you

Ana

Hi Ana,

This mean you want exclude a category from your blog page?

We recommend put your customize code in functions.php in gecko-child to keep your code when update parent theme.

Harry, I m so unfamiliar with working with the child theme but I know it’s what i shou;d do yes. For now it works so I’ll do it  in a few days.

I do still really need help with

• language menu on mobile (it’s not dropping down – Now its’s not even there)
• and eliminating ‘clients’ for portfolio categories.

I appreciate all the hel you can give me with those 2 items…
