So I filtered the category from the main index as Chris described here:</p> <p><a href="http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/filtering-one-category-from-index-loop" rel="nofollow">http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/filtering-one-category-from-index-loop</a></p> <p>'<br /> //Remove news category from blog page to avoid double posting<br /> function no_news_in_loop() {<br /> //test if we are on the blog page<br /> if(is_home())</p> <p> {<br /> global $query_string;<br /> query_posts('cat=-3');<br /> }<br /> }<br /> add_action('thematic_indexloop', 'no_news_in_loop');<br /> '</p> <p>It works great, almost. It causes my pagination links to stop working. They load the appropriate page, i.e. blog/page/2/ and blog/page/3/, but the posts on every page are the same.</p> <p>I'm hoping there's a quick and easy fix for it? I just can't seem to locate one.</p> <p>I suppose I should also mention that I've put the news category posts on their own page by copying page.php, renaming in to page-news.php, and creating a page template with it. I then filter the index loop on that page with this function:</p> <p>'<br /> //filter news category posts to only show on news page template</p> <p>function news_in_loop () {<br /> if(is_page_template('page-news.php'))</p> <p> {<br /> query_posts( $query_string . "&#38;cat=26");<br /> }<br /> }</p> <p> add_action('thematic_indexloop', 'news_in_loop');<br /> '</p> <p>This also works as needed, except for the same pagination issue.</p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p>
