Jordi,

I am having the same issue. I am wanting to exclude posts that are ONLY in a certain category. For example, I have a Kansas City Royals blog. Each day, the starting lineup is automatically posted.

Category: Royals Lineup

However, on days that I am sitting at home, ready to watch the game, I also add a “What will happen in tonight’s game” poll.

Categories: Royals Lineup AND Royals Polls

I do not want to include the lineup on the homepage on days when I do not add a poll, but if the post includes a poll, I want to include it on the homepage. If you know how to accomplish this, please send me a message:

Thanks,
Travis

I just tested method 3, and it does not have the limitation that you advertise. I mean, articles which belong to the banned category and other categories are still “banned” in the home page.
Is this being experienced by anyone else?

In Method one… Could you have something like “Postcount=postcount-1″ before the continue, so that the number of posts on your front page doesn’t get effected when passing over a post?

Sorry I don’t know the correct coding or language for it. But I think something like that could be added.

Thanks Niall. There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding excluding categories from WP index pages. Glad I could help out.
