Wordpress Code Help.. I Have No Idea What They Did $5 Paypal To Whoever Fixes This.

[contract]

Trying to exclude certain categories from the homepage. Now BlogHue's awesome code worked fine, but then they added in another index for a new section on my site, and it doesn't work anymore.. And they can't fix it.. And somehow I have 2 indexes..

So I'm looking at the Index loop now: (This is what I want to do) I'm assuming it will work? Since the functions.php version didn't.

Show Posts From Selected Categories On Wordpress Blog Homepage

Index

<?php $i=1; if (have_posts()) : ?>

Index1

<?php $i=1; if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php $category_id = get_cat_ID( 'Weight Loss' ); //echo $category_id ; ?>

But! That site says it should look like this:

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

And then modified to this:

<?php if (!is_paged() and is_home()) { query_posts('cat=519,186,2'); wp_reset_query();

So what is that $i=1 for? It's written all over the code in the indexes in random sections.. God damn, so frustrated.. All I want to do is exclude certain cats from my homepage..

to exclude you just do query_posts('cat=-1,-2') etc

Thanks! But sorry no idea what you mean.. Not sure what to do since there's the $i=1...

Is this right? Sorry I'm not a coder...

<?php $i=1; if (!is_paged() and is_home()) { query_posts('cat=519,186,2'); wp_reset_query();

I don't know how to make it more clear? Change your queries to exclude the categories you want to exclude, query_posts('cat=-1,-2') is an example of excluding cat 1 & 2.

Yes I completely understand that.. But sorry, what I'm worried about is that $i=1 part. How do I write this up with the $i=1 included, since the website's code looks different than mine? Would be really grateful if you could send me an example with the $1=1 included..

Let's say my excluded cats where 1 and 2.. Where would I even add that query line in at? Thanks sorry!

Or wait.. Do I just ignore all of my code and add this above the $i=1 part..

<?php query_posts($query_string.'&cat=-1,-2,-3'); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

It's a variable named "i", can't tell why is it there or what does it do tho

Thanks.. Hmm sending you a PM.

Why are you getting hung up on a variable that isn't being referenced in your query? If you want to exclude categories, do so, and ignore the superfluous crap.

If you still haven't figured it out, PM me or Skype me. I'll take a look at it if you want.

Finally had someone on another forum explain that the $i=1 variable doesn't matter.. I had no idea. So sorry! Now I kind of understand what you're saying by it's only the post_query part I have to care about.

SkyFire PM your Paypal, I'm an idiot. Didn't realize it was so simple as just adding it after query_posts, ugh..

Didn't mean to bump*. Sorry

Just wanted to say MY coders broke it, NOT bloghue. He actually helped me fix their issues with some code provided in another thread. Everything's going great now.
