How to Exclude categories from wordpress frontpage/homepage

This is actually very simple. All you have to do is modify some PHP code.

First, goto Manage > Categories and get the ID of the Category you wish to exclude. Then, go to WP admin and selet Presentation > Theme Editor ..

For your current theme, edit the loop where the posts are displayed.

Here is the sample from K2 Theme’s post display loop.

    <?php /* Start the loop */ while ( have_posts() )
         {

         the_post();

       ?>

MODIFIED CODE :

     <?php /* Start the loop */ while ( have_posts() )

  {

  the_post();

  if (is_home()) if (in_category('14')) continue;
  if (is_home()) if (in_category('47')) continue;

  ?>

The modified code doesnt show posts that belong to Categories 14 and 47 in homepage.
