function be_exclude_category_from_blog( $query ) {

$query->set( 'cat', '-8' );

}

Change the category ID according to the category you want to exclude. Keep the minus sign.

$query-&gt;set( 'cat', '-8' );

1	$query->set( 'cat', '-8' );

To add others just add a comma after each category ID as – , ‘ID’

$query-&gt;set( 'cat', '-8', '-12' );

1	$query->set( 'cat', '-8', '-12' );
