The old posts may are(was?) in the feed-cache from wordpress. If I change something in my feed I normally add this line in the theme-functions.php

add_filter( ‘wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime’, create_function( ‘$a’, ‘return 0;’ ) );

Good question. I am not sure about this. I think it only affects the new ones.

I tried this code and it didn’t alter the category posts already in the RSS feed.. is it supposed to only work for new posts in a category that I want to exclude or should it affect the older ones too?

WordPress. You can do anything you like with WordPress, Drupal… It is up to you (or the developer if you hire someone)

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Please update your article!

The code method to exclude multiple categories has changed to the following format:

feed/?cat=-1,-2

For reference, see this ticket in the WordPress Trac:

Great tip. Thank you for the code in the functions file. I hate plugins, so that solution rocks.

What if you have a post in 2 categories? It seems like if you exclude 1 of the categories the post is in, it will still appear in the feed.

Would you HAVE to exlcude both categories or is there another way to hide that post?

Thanks,

Adam

Thank you. I’ve been trying to hide my slider and photo gallery category rss feeds by using plugins, but they caused more confusion. Finally I found your article and after a while, got it to work perfectly.
Appreciate your help…. too bad I’m gonna get all the credit for this.
Thanks Jeremie.
