Assuming that you are using get_categories to print the category links, there is an exclude parameter. You need to use IDs, so you will need to convert the slug with get_term_by $cid = get_term_by(‘slug’,’update’,’category’); // var_dump($cid); get_categories( array( ‘exclude’ => $cid->term_id ) );
The Simple Yearly Archive Plugin does just that. This code will also do the trick: <?php // get years that have posts $years = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT YEAR(post_date) AS year FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=”post” AND post_status=”publish” GROUP BY year DESC” ); foreach ( $years as $year ) { // get posts for each year $posts_this_year = … Read more
No… Your users won’t receive the post again in their feeds when you click update button. That’s how WordPress works. So don’t be afraid to click update button Dashboard -> All Posts -> Edit -> Make changes -> Click update button PS: If you still afraid, do a little experiment. By default your feed url … Read more
The function get_posts() accepts a parameter ‘post__not_in’, which allows you to specify an array of post IDs to exclude from the query. get_posts() is just a wrapper for WP_Query, so the documentation for this parameter can be found here. When inside the loop (such as inside single-events.php) you can retrieve the current post’s ID with … Read more
You could use a regexp to remove the year, though it’s a little hacky: $string = wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&limit=20&echo=0’); $pattern = ‘ ((19|20)\d{2}(</a>))’; echo preg_replace($pattern, ‘\\3’, $string); Answer from this stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5759720/have-wp-get-archives-return-a-string-with-no-year-in-it
Use the pre_get_posts action to modify number of posts per page on date archives. This would go in your theme’s functions.php file: function wpa_date_posts_per_page( $query ) { if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_date() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, -1 ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpa_date_posts_per_page’ );
I ended up ensuring that all parent and grandparent categories are selected for a particular article, instead of just the child category. That solved my problem. Now, sub-categories that have sub-sub-categories with posts are not treated as “empty”.

You need to use “OR” instead of “AND”, <?php // Get years that have posts $years = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT YEAR(post_date) AS year FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=”post” AND (post_status=”publish” or post_status=”future”) GROUP BY year DESC” ); // For each year, do the following foreach ( $years as $year ) { // Get all posts for the … Read more
Fixed. I used code: <div class=”panel callout radius”> <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( ‘user_email’ ), ’96’ ); ?> <div class=”right”> <a href=”https://twitter.com/<?php the_author_meta( ‘twitter’ ); ?>” target=”_blank”><i class=”fi-social-twitter size-24″></i></a> <a href=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘facebook’ ); ?>” target=”_blank”><i class=”fi-social-facebook size-24″></i></a> <a href=”mailto:<?php the_author_meta( ’email’ ); ?>”><i class=”fi-mail size-24″></i></a> Then I found out this function could only be used … Read more
