I'm not sure where to post this question. I am using Genesis version 1.8.2 with a custom child theme. Under Theme Settings>Blog Page, I selected "All Categories" and Exclude the following Category IDs: 12. Category 12 continues to show up on my Blog page.
The website is on my localhost so I am not able to share the url.
Thanks!

December 13, 2012 at 5:10 pm #5079pgmagallanesMemberNick, I am using the blog page template, but no response. In General Settings>>Reading Settings>>Posts Page: Blog.
On the "Blog" edit page I have selected the "Blog" Template under page Attributes.
January 2, 2013 at 11:22 am #8965timjMemberhaving same issue. Need to exclude a category from home page while assigning excerpts not the entire article on home page.
January 8, 2013 at 2:02 am #10305erikvlieMemberLet me tune in. In Education 2, I have set All Categories to show on the blog page; the home page shows blog entries below the widgetized area with the slider, intro, etc. I entered a category ID in the Exclude Categories field, but that category keeps showing up.
Can you advise on what to do? Preferably without coding because I suck at it. Copy/paste is OK ;-).
Thanks!
January 9, 2013 at 3:16 pm #10794milesmattParticipantHi Brian & Co.,
Likewise - I'm having the same issue. Seems like excluding categories MIGHT be borked. Using the blog page template as directed, turned off all plugins, & flushed cache.
This is on Genesis 1.9.1 with (a slightly tweaked) eleven40.
I don't know if this is related or not, but I also can't seem to get the blog back to full content either- it's still truncated with [read more] despite changing settings in Settings>Reading and Genesis>Theme Settings>Content Archives. That's why I say MIGHT - the db I'm using is sizable. It's a copy of a blog that's been around for a long time and gone through several WP iterations (1400+ posts). It seems to be in really good shape structurally though.
Got any ideas? I'm about to go try some WP DB health checks for lack of other options...

I asked Studiopress' support to help me, but they referred me to a developer or their snippet repository. However, I just now found this snippet -- but not on this site, but here (plenty more): http://genesissnippets.com -- and this works great for me!

/** Replace the standard loop with our custom loop */remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'child_do_custom_loop' );
function child_do_custom_loop() {
global $paged; // current paginated page
global $query_args; // grab the current wp_query() args
$args = array(
'category__not_in' => 42, // exclude posts from this category
'paged' => $paged, // respect pagination
);
genesis_custom_loop( wp_parse_args($query_args, $args) );
}
