Do you want to exclude posts of the specific categories from homepage? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to exclude category from homepage in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
<?php
function excludeCat($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set('cat', '-3,-5,-23');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');
?>
Make sure to replace the category IDs in the above code.
