Blocking Certain Category From Recent Posts

**4evrblu** · Feb 24, 2009 20:17

I use

PHP Code:


<?php $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=0');foreach($myposts as $post) :?>

to call the recent posts in my blog, but I would like to block posts from certain categories, one in particular - workout_music

Can the PHP tag be written to exclude recent posts in a category?

You have two options

You filter the result set from the moment you get them out from database

Or you can use php array do something like this

Code PHP:

while ($subcat_rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($subcat_result))
{
	$groups[$subcat_rows['abbreviation2']][] = $subcat_rows;
}

Ugggg my friend you have given me what I am sure is a very logical and well thought out reply, but I am confessing to being lost.

Would I use this in PLACE of my php code, or combine your string with it somehow? I apologize, but this is not an area of strength for me.

Might you be able to show me what I should insert into my template in place of the string I am currently using?
