I have a career blog<\/a> and have been writing on it from the past 4 months with a subscribers<\/a> count of around 600 confirmed readers. Recently i have started posting few personal posts and fun related content which i want to be displayed on the web blog but not to be shown on the feedburner emails<\/a> which are sent to my readers and also not in the Feed readers like Google Reader, Feed Demon<\/a> etc. Is it possible to actually hide or stop this stuff with out any complex coding stuff? I tried to publish these posts in very older dates to try to hide the content from email readers, but still they are being sent to everyone and no solution for excluding posts from certain category.<\/p>\n

Solution : WordPress<\/a> offers you with many excellent tweaking features using which you can easily customize it to the maximum levels, unlike other confusing softwares like Joomla which are very hard from the beginning itself. Lets get back to the topic of hiding a category posts from being displayed in the feeds. For this you need to visit the Feedburner<\/a> section along with the category ID. The category ID can be found at wp-admin\/categories.php section, while you mouse over the edit option it will be displayed in the status bar of your browser as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"Wordpress<\/a><\/p>\n

Next in the feedburner panel you need to click on ‘Edit Feed Details’ option which will display three different sections to edit. You need to edit the 2nd one as shown below. If the Category ID of the category you want to exclude is 50, then you need to update as shown below.<\/p>\n

Original Feed : https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/feed\/
\nUpdated Feed : https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/feed\/?cat=-50<\/p>\n

\"Feedburner<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it the option would just disable publishing posts from that specific category, also if you are looking to perform the same job for multiple categories you should add the same code again like – ?cat=-50&cat=-51 and so on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
