Exclude a category in WordPress RSS feed

Advertisement

A regular visitor asked us how he can exclude a category posts appearing in Feedburner feed. To exclude a category posts appearing in Feedburner, we can not tweak from Feedburner settings, we have to control the source : that is the WordPress blog feed.

 

Follow these instructions to exclude a category posts appearing in the Feed:

Write down the category ID you want to exclude from the feed. Open notepad, write the category name save as exclude a category (or something like that); otherwise it is difficult to remember.

 

To find the category you want to exclude, Go to Posts > Categories and hover your mouse over the category you want to exclude. You will see something like this in your lower pane of browser:

We have marked the category ID above.

 

Editing the functions.php file to exclude a category

 

We have to edit the file named functions.php of your theme file to exclude a category. You can use Notepad or Gedit (our choice) to edit :

 

myFilter function ($ query) {
if ($ query -> is_feed) {
$ Query -> set (‘cat’, ‘-358‘);
}
return $ query;
}
add_filter (‘pre_get_posts’, ‘myFilter’);

 

Obviously, you have to change the red text, which is our category ID in this example to exclude a category you want. Save the changes to the file. You can use comma to separate more categories to exclude.
