Anna99 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i'm very much a newbie to PHP (10 days) setting up a blog using WordPress. the theme i am using is: http://www.eblogtemplates.com/demo/ after installing, the developer's instructions mentions creating a category called "Asides" so all the posts selected with that category will get placed in that section (bottom left). i am using that particular section for news synopses and each post has at least 2 categories ("Asides" and something else). because these news briefs expire after a certain time, i tried *retiring* it by unchecking Asides, but then the post gets bumped up into both the Latest and Recent Posts section. essentially, i'm trying to have *retired* posts NOT appear anywhere on the main page, but available for viewing in the Archives. i found the PHP code for excluding posts in certain categories on the home page. apparently the rule is if post has more than 1 category, it will not work. so i've tried making the post have only 1 category, and with 2 categories (but in this case, i state the 2 categories to exclude in the code). these scenarios do not work. help please.

trq Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 This is a php programming forum, not a software help forum. Your question would be better asked on a wordpress help board of some sort.
