I would like to use the blacklist option to prevent a category from showing up in the main section posts on the front page, but still have the post / category show up in the sidebar. I am using the following plug-in to generate the posts on the sidebar: AK: Featured Post Sidebar Widget.
Right now, either the post shows in the main section and in the sidebar, or, if I blacklist it, it doesn’t show either place.
In functions.php find the function
esplanade_ignore_sticky_posts()and rewrite it like this:function esplanade_ignore_sticky_posts( $query ) { global $wp_the_query; if( ( $wp_the_query === $query && $query->is_home() ) { if( esplanade_get_option( 'slider' ) ) $query->set( 'ignore_sticky_posts', 1 ); $query->set( 'cat', '-1,-2,-3' ); } }Replace the numbers with the IDs of the categories you wish to exclude.
I was able to get around this by using the Ultimate Category Excluder plug in. It allows specification of where you want to exclude the category. Thanks for your response. The website based on the theme has gotten good feedback.
