When using category=“not 3” in the weblog tag, it works fine if no other category is assigned, but entries in category 3 (in this case) will still show up if they are assigned to another category.

How do I prohibit all entries in a particular category from displaying regardless if they are in other categories?

Hi Craig,

In this case you will have to specify all the categories that you do not wish displayed. If you are looking for ways to deal with a specific aspect of your project then I can move this thread into the How To forum so that you can get some community input.

Not exactly . . . I’m only trying to not display only category 3. The problem is when the weblog entry is assigned to another category as well, then it is not hidden. For example, I have categories A, B and C, but I only want to display entries from categories A and B, so I restrict category C. What I am trying to accomplish is that for any entry filed under category C should not appear, regardless of the other categories it is assigned to. Likewise, any category that has anything except C should appear - pretty straigtforward.

The problem is that particular entry is assigned to both categories (A or B) and C, then it is visible (but shouldn’t be, because it is assigned to category C. It only works (restricts entry) as intended when the entry is solely assigned to category C.

Hi, Craig -

This is expected behavior.  Because the entry is in multiple categories and you’re showing some of those, the entry will also show up.

You could put in a feature request to change this if so desired.
