Movable Type Knowledge Base: Exclude or Include A Category From An Entries List

Question

I want to exclude or include a category from the list of entries on my index page. How do I do that?

Answer

If you only have a few categories, you can specify the ones you want to appear by using the category attribute:

<MTEntries category="Apples OR Bananas OR Peaches">

That would exclude any entries in a category called Oranges.

If you have several categories, listing them all with an OR could be tedious. In that case, you should consider using the ExcludeCategories plugin. You can also find out more about the MTEntries tag.
