* while working on a few new Sangbleu pages, i came across this neat way of handling custom query; i found it on the WordPress Codex: query_posts.
What it is essentially doing here is an exclude of all the post of a specific category without affecting the main loop/query generated by the core system of redirects; in other words: it respects the original paging. I found it quite clean and neat – and thought i would share…
** Even after a few months working intensively with WordPress almost like a framework, i’m still able to improve my own tricks and discover new stuff; version 2.9 is around the corner and i’m getting excited a bit with the fusion of the core WP and the MU
*** We are searching for a way to share internally/externally small bits of code, functions, etc (not only WP related) – considering any software repository (wiki, wp, …), what would you recommend?
if you want to exclude a few more categories you can use something like:
array_merge(
array(‘cat’ => -420), array(‘cat’ => -279),
$wp_query->query
)
array_merge accepts many arrays as parameters to be merged. See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php
