   Hello,

   how would it be possible to exclude posts from a certain forum in the "latest discussions" section?

   Like in this forum in your "latest discussions" you get posts from every forum except for "pimp your press".

   I did use the search, but i only found how to hide the category, and not how to prevent "lates discussions" from collecting posts from a certain category. Probably my English isnt good anough and miss the right search keyword.

   Thanks for your advices... and patience.

   the Process

   I'm using this code:

   <?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
   <?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 ) { //exclude forums here ?>
   <tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

   If you're using the Kakumei theme, replace this with that:

   <?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
   <tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

   Just change the id's

   Hi Chandersbs,

   i am sorry i didnt get what i should do: should i edit only this part

   { //exclude forums here ?>

   and fill it with the id of the forum i want to exclude?

   Or should i change the ids in the following line? I only have 1 forum to exclude, and its "position" is 4, does that mean that its id is 4 as well?

   <?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )

   Thanks!

   This might be a cleaner solution
   

   <?php
   switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Ignore these forums
   	case 29:
   	case 30:
   	case 18:
   	case 15:
   	case 4:
   		continue 2;
   }
   ?>

   or for including only certain forums

   switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Include only these forums
   	case 29:
   	case 30:
   	case 18:
   	case 15:
   	case 4:
   		break;
   	default:
   		continue 2;
   }
   ?>

   but using that if statement, you need to change the line
   <?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )
   and you can find the forum ID from looking at its Edit URL in the admin panel (under Forums)
