Exclude Posts in WP

Search this code

Replace with

<?php
if ( have_posts() ) : query_posts($query_string .'&amp;cat=-1,-2'); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

cat=-1,-2  = these are category Id’s

you can also add numbers of post you want to show by using these trick

<?php
if ( have_posts() ) : query_posts($query_string .'&amp;cat=-1,-2&amp;showposts=2&amp;order=asc'); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

showposts= number of post you want to display,

Order by = its upto you to show ASC/DESC
