i have the same exactly problem as you guys…
but instead, im trying to desappear with two categories:
query_posts(“cat=-57,-81&posts_per_page=20”);
but it just don’t return any result for me…
i was thinkings that it could be some MySQL error, since this two categories results in more than 1000 posts, but if i make the query in another page it runs ok =/
Well, you can creat users with “Contributor” acess, them they won’t be able to Publish any new, so they’re not going to apear to visitants of your website. (I don’t know if this works)
And to show only a restrict category at the front page, just add this line before your The Loop (start with this line: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> )at index.php :
<? query_posts("cat=XX"); ?>
But in XX put the code of the category that you want.
