Front Page Display

After upgrading to WordPress 2.6, the plugin that customizes our front page to display only English posts messed up other sidebar features (DP Says and Speak Up). Hence it has been temporarily disabled. This will cause Indic posts to display on the front page. The plugin author has promised to update the code soon. Until then please bear with us.

Feeds remain unaffected.

You could do this without using a plugin as your crutch. Try this.

Cool! That worked perfectly. Thanks. I love it when I can customize WP without plugins.

The “previous post” and “next post” at the bottom isn’t working fine. They keep pointing to front page and all the while urls do change.

Oops. Fixed it. But if I fix that the excluding categories code doesn’t work.

Modify the line from the above link to look like this: <?php if ( is_home() || is_paged() ) { query_posts(”cat=-3″); } ?>

Adding to the comment above, you’d update the code to reflect the IDs of categories to exclude I presume.

I wonder why Previous and Next don’t work. I have all kinds of query_posts running on my site, and the ‘previous’ ‘next’ links work just fine, unless of course you mean that in a paged view you still get to see. Ack I see your email now. Will send the code via email.
