I have seen quite a few post on getting a specific category feed and it is built in. After looking at the category feeds page and trying the format, it does not work for me. For example:...

Ok, I finally found the link that works: http://www.divaknitting.com/blog/?feed=rss2&cat=12 However, what I'd really like to do is have any posts to this category be excluded from the regular site...

Try adding this to your theme's functions.php file: function limit_feed() { if (is_home() && !is_category()) { query_posts($query_string . "cat=-12"); } } add_action('rss2_head','limit_feed');

Thank you! Unfortunately, I tried adding the code you suggested, did a test post and it did show up in my main feed. I'm not sure if it matters where in the functions.php code I add this? I put it...

I tried it though and the category 12 posts still show up in bloglines, google reader etc. Remember that services like these cache your feed, they don't retrieve it fresh every single time. So changes...

DOH! I didn't think of that! I'll change it and leave it alone for a while to see if it works. Frustrating to not be able to see immediately. Do you think it is better to go with your original...

Well in that case it still isn't working. I should have been more clear that I had tried the browser too...http://www.divaknitting.com/blog/?feed=rss2 still shows category 12 with both the Feed...

Try this instead: function limit_feed() { if (is_feed() && !is_category()) { query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-12"); } } add_action('rss2_head','limit_feed');

Bummer. I tried changing to the default theme too and that had no effect.
