WordPress allows you to sort content into categories and tags. Now sometimes we may want to use a category for posts that are not part of your normal blog entries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
By default, WordPress does not allow us to hide posts in specific categories from homepage or archives. This leaves us with unwanted posts appearing on your homepage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
let\u2019s see the methods to exclude\u00a0a category from WordPress homepage<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From here, you can simply check one or multiple categories under the \u2018Exclude from front page\u2019 column. If you want, then you can also exclude the category from\u00a0RSS feeds, archives, or even from\u00a0WordPress search.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
