[wp-hackers] exclude category from main loops via plugin

[Erick Hitter]

pre_get_posts is my preferred method. The hook fires before the
query executes, so there are no unnecessary database calls. The hook's first
argument is an object whose query_vars method is an array that you can add
your category exclusion (or any other query arguments) to.

Here's a sample:
function my_query( $query ) {
$query->query_vars[ 'category_name' ] = 'mycategory';
 return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_query' );
