How can I make the default Blog page show only posts of a certain category or exclude posts of a certain category? Thanks!

@Ben: You can create page from “Pages => Add New”, then you can set that page as blog page from “Settings => Readings => Front page displays”, check “A static page (select below)” and then in “Posts page”, you can select the page in which you want to show your blog posts.

Then to filter the posts from particular category, you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage/Frontpage Category Settings” and then select the categories that you want to show in your blog page.

Hi Sakin,

I found the setting and excluded the category I want excluded but the blog page is still showing all categories…

@Ben: Did you go that for your page that you have set it from “Settings => Readings => Front page displays”. Can you post in your blog URL and then I can check in.

Front Page is Home
Posts Page is Blog

Category Setting is set to exclude category “News” but news posts are still showing.

@Ben: Make sure that post only belongs to New Category. If that post belongs to 2 categories then you need to deselect both the categories.
