Hide certain categories from displaying on your homepage in Wordpress

>First of all you need to find this piece of code in your theme, either in home.php or index.php
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Then you need to insert this piece of code directly below it
<?php if (in_category('235') && is_home()) continue; ?>
But you need to replace 235 with your category you want to exclude. You can find the category by going to manage-categories, then you need the ID of the category. Now that's how you exclude a category from the homepage in Wordpress.

Hey, thanks! I was looking for such a solution for some time now.

It seems that one needs to use "&&" instead of "$$" to make it work. I'm not into PHP at all though.

BTW. Wprecipes' post is about excluding categories from RSS feed, not the main page.

Thanks, I have fixes this
