Title: [Plugin: Runners Log] Enter running data without creating a post? Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Runners Log] Enter running data without creating a post? * Resolved [CasperB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casperb/) * (@casperb) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-runners-log-enter-running-data-without-creating-a-post/) * Hi, * First of all, let me say that this plugin looks extremely powerful. Thanks for the work that you have put into this already! * Is there a way to enter running data without writing a new post? I train 2-3 times a week and do not intend to write a post every time, but I do want to record the running results to fully benefit from you plugin. * Thanks and keep up the great work.

The whole idea is to use the post to comment your training, training thoughts or what ever – and then share your training with the readers. * Im glad you like the plugin so much that you like to use is it as a stand-alone solution – but this isnt possible yet, and Im not sure if it ever will be it. * One way could be to install wordpress on a localhost or a hidden subdomain. You could skip entering a post-msg, and just give your run a title. * Thats the best I can do… * Thread Starter [CasperB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casperb/) * (@casperb) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-runners-log-enter-running-data-without-creating-a-post/#post-1631427) * Hi, * I want to share the excellent graphs on my blog, but not the raw posts. * Here’s a perfect work around: I installed the “simply exclude” plugin to exclude all post in the category “running” from the blog’s front page. I categorize all new running log posts as “running”. I also excluded this category from the Twitter tool plugin. * So the posts are more or less invisible, but I have my running results visible on the runners log page. I am even considering buying a Garmin to make even better use of the plugin! * Thanks again for this plugin. * Plugin Author [Frederik Liljefred.

I might add it to the FAQ section if its okay for you? * Feel free to rate the plugin. * Btw: I edited this post to the status: “Resolved” if that’s okay? * [aalemann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aalemann/) * (@aalemann) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-runners-log-enter-running-data-without-creating-a-post/#post-1631493) * The “simply exclude” plugin didn’t work for me – I use WP 3.0.1 and I get the white screen problem every-time I try to use this plugin. * But I found another solution which avoids the installation of a plugin: You simply have to add a few lines of code to the functions.php file, as described on this site: [http://www.locoed.com/web-design/how-to-exclude-category-posts-wordpress-tutorial-code/](http://www.locoed.com/web-design/how-to-exclude-category-posts-wordpress-tutorial-code/) * For me, this works very well! * Plugin Author [Frederik Liljefred.
