Wordpress Question

[darnit]

In WordPress is it possible to configure posts in a certain category to not appear as a new post at the top of the blog but just appear in their respective category archives?

Thanks

yes it is possible. There is a plugin called category exclusion, or smth like that ;)
google it.

It's really trivial to do this in TextPattern, WordPress, it would likely be easier to just 'Write as a Page', and set it for the subcategory you want. This will also have the "benefit" of not be displayed in a tree, they work individually.

TextPattern: Modify your display logic: <txp:article customfield="type"> or just create a new type of entry, and exclude it from the front page and/or category list.

You don't need a plugin to do this. For example if you want to exclude cat id 5 then put this in index.php at the top, this is a wordpress function.

<?php
if (is_home()) {
query_posts("cat=-5");
}
?>

You should avoid plugins unless it's necassery, since they may break at updates.
