Is it possible to prevent a post from appearing on my blog?

I have business related posts and personal related posts. (categories: personal, business) Is it possible to just show the "personal" posts on the blog?

Hi Rhelling, This is something you would need to ask the Wordpress support team.

Okay...got my answer from WordPress...but where in PageLines do I add this? (...they told me to add it to my theme index.php...but that just didn't look right.)

Hi Randal, If you are using the base theme, you can add an exclude function to your functions.php file to exclude the posts that are not in the desired category. [code]function exclude_category( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home ) { $query->set( 'cat', '-1' ); } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );[/code] Replace -1 with whatever category you would like to exclude. This might interfere however with certain settings of the Features section (i believe if you use all posts, it will remove posts in that category from the slider too - but this was before the 2.2 version and I might not remember it correctly. If you find the function to work funny for you, for whatever reason, there is also the Simply Exclude wordpress plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simply-exclude/ which worked great for me on a website. You will just have to pay attention to how you set it up. Good luck.

...just curious - do you think you could exclude a "tag" easier?

I think the plugin is going to work fine for me. Thanks.
