Hide certain categories from displaying on your homepage in Wordpress

First of all you need to find this piece of code in your theme, either in home.php or index.php

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Then you need to insert this piece of code directly below it

<?php if (in_category(’235′) $$ is_home()) continue; ?>

But you need to replace 235 with your category you want to exclude. You can find the category by going to manage-categories, then you need the ID of the category.

Now that’s how you exclude a category from the homepage in Wordpress.

UPDATE:

I Forgot Wprecipes.com did a post about this as well. Better go check that one out
