Code To Exclude Subcategories From Loop In WordPress Blog

Hi,

Please use this code to exclude subcategories from the loop in wordpress blog. Just need to ad this code in either functions.php file or set a plugin and activate it..

if ( !function_exists(‘fb_filter_child_cats’) ) {
function fb_filter_child_cats( $cats )
{
global $wp_query, $wpdb;
if ( is_category() )
{
if ( $excludes = get_categories( “child_of=” . $wp_query->get(‘cat’) ) )
{
foreach ( $excludes as $key => $value )
{
$exclude[] = $value->cat_ID;
}
}
if ( isset($exclude) && is_array($exclude) )
{
$cats .= ” AND ” . $wpdb->prefix . “term_taxonomy.term_id NOT IN (” . implode(“,”, $exclude) . “) “;
}
}
return $cats;
}
if(!is_admin() )
{
add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘fb_filter_child_cats’ );
}
}

Thanks,

Shane G.
