I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! <code> -In the script, find this line: AND post_status = 'publish' -Right above it, add this line: AND {$table_prefix}categories.cat_ID 3 (Where 3 is the category ID) </code> Hi Admin,

This plugin is exactly what my client needs. :)

I’m trying to exclude a category using the tip of Jesse last 8-16-06 (code below) but it doesn’t seem to work anymore for Wordpress 2.5 .

I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!


-In the script, find this line:
  AND post_status = 'publish' 
-Right above it, add this line:
  AND {$table_prefix}categories.cat_ID  3

I think I've found out what the problem is however and I have a workaround. I live on the east coast, but my site is hosted on a server on the west coast. If I set the timezone to UTC -8 then the posts show up immediately. I think the script must compare the current time on the server to see what is new, but it can't see posts from a few hours ahead of the server's current time so it ignores them. If this was changed somehow so that it recognized posts that were posted after the current time then no one would have this issue.
