Excluding posts from category archives

[adew]

Hi,

An alternative solution is to allocate "placesetting" posts to a new "placesetting" category as well as the main category. You can then use something like this after the start of the Loop in archive.php:

<?php if ( !in_category(1) ) : ?>
// Rest of your loop content code stays here
<?php endif; ?>
// Leave Loop end code as is

Replace "1" with the category ID of the placesetting category.

Alternatively, look at the solutions you posted although I don't think the first one will help you.

These edits will go in archive.php which is the file which generates the category archive.

In fact there are lots of ways to accomplish what you want, none of them particularly straightforward, and all have their pro's and con's. If the category idea I've suggested is interesting, post back if you need more help with the code.
