wordpress --- is this possible

[TerryLon]

I have one blog with 78 categories, can I start 2 other blogs, use the same database, but not show certain categories on the other 2?

Thanks

In functions.php:

function exclude_category_home( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set( 'cat', 'IDNumber' );
}
return $query;
}

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category_home' );

Change IDNumber to the category number.
This just hides them, though, is that what you want?

Thanks will try. Just the quick question is that on the main blog or for the other blogs.

The other blog, basically that just hides categories from the home page, or you could delete an if statement and make it on the whole blog.
That won't do anything like import only X-categories and not posts from Y-categories on the new blogs, though, it just hides the cat links on the blog.
If you do want to import only posts from specific categories and not others, though, I can show you that, too. Slightly different.
Hope my wording makes sense, very long day lol

That code is very helpful for blogs where you have uncategorized posts and want to hide that.

What if you use the same database but on the 2nd blog do not create all the same categories, wouldn't that be easier.Or is that not a possibility.

duplicating your own content hardly seems a great idea

You know how Google treats duplicate content?
