You can exclude certain categories you don’t want them to show at your homepage, singe page or any pages on your WordPress blog. The reason for excluding category may vary, as for me, I don’t want my second navigation looks crowded especially with categories that are not really important or with less posts.

Thus as you can see in my category horizontal list above I only put 9 categories of 12 categories this blog has. And what I did to exclude unwanted categories from showing up is adding this function:

<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&exclude=1,2,3'); ?>

1, 2 and 3 are categories ID that to be excluded and you can find categories ID on your category section (Post -> Categories), then point your cursor to the category name you wish to exclude to find its ID:

Thus change 1,2 and 3 with your own category ID to make them/it excluded and not show up on your WordPress blog!

I just installed and activated PushPress plugin on this blog, it’s advertised to speed up indexing process a lot faster rather than without using it. It’s developed for our new content to be found by Rss feeds aggregrators and Search Engines almost instantaneously.

And it’s what I wanted considering lately it’s hard for my newly published article to get indexed right away as it’s used to. Now it takes almost entire day – I don’t know why this is happening – but since May comes this happens!

Thus to solve the problem I follow what it’s advertised and installed, I have not seen the result as it’s just installed. Thus this post it’s the testing post while at the same time to promote the PushPress plugin, so any WordPress users who have the same problem as mine will notice about the plugin

Thus if you think to download PushPress here is the link!

See you in the next post!
