How to do this in WOrpdress?

Hi-

I need some help in Wordpress. I want to add post in my blog but I don't want it to be place in Front page. I just want it in specific category.

How can I do this? Is there any plug in for this?

 

You can exclude certain categories in the loop, more here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

 

Can you post here specific code or instruction? I am not that techie person

 

the instructions at wp codex are very clear if you do not understand php then you will need to get some tech person to help you....

 

You can try to post with OLD post date

 

Problem solved.

I just change the date

 

For future reference. Your front page is set to post from a certain category (1). Most people have it as "Featured" or something simular.
Just don't select that category when you post and it won't show up on it, but it will show on the category you did select.

You don't need to change any code or hire a programmer to simply place the post in a category that doesn't show on the blog page.

 

Where can i found the setting to set up front page in specific category?

 

Under Settings> Writing, you set the default post category from the drop down menu of categories that you have created.
Additionally many themes ask for a default category as well in the theme options.

 

Do I need to edit the code of the theme? It does not work here

 

What theme are you using ? Usually it is a theme option. If not, then the easiest way would be to continue what you are doing and change the date.

So what you are saying is that ALL of your posts are going to the front page, no matter what category you put them in ? And you are sure that you are unchecking the default post category ?

 

If you are still having problems and you want to edit the code.

First of all get the number of the category that you want to exclude. You do this by opening you categories section from your dashboard.....hover over the category that you want to exclude ad look at the left-bottom of your browser to see the category number.

Open you Index.php:

# Inside the *index.php file, look for the line that says “<?php if (have_posts()) : ?> ”
then paste this code after that line:
]! don’t forget to change the id to your chosen category id

<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("cat=-8&paged=$page"); ?>

and before this code. “ <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> “
# Then Update your *index.php file.

That should work.
