Exclude Category from Blog

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin solved a problem I’ve been trying to solve for almost one week now. I’ve been jumping from one popular plugin to another in vain. But this simple plugin did the trick as soon as installed it and selected the categories to be excluded. And boom!!! Those posts were gone from my blog page. Now I can have a sound sleep at lastt. Thaks you very much.

   I don’t understand what this module does, because what it says it does just doesn’t work, it just doesn’t work.

   The plugin misses one important thing: to exclude categories from the feed, too
