categories in WordPress hosting

[kachakagmu]

Hello,
the home page of my blog from my hosting are showing last 5 posts of all categories. I want to show the last 5 posts of all categories except one. That which remains outside index.php I want to move in sidebar.php . How is it possible?

[PEPSUN]

Put this code at the beginning of index.php somewhere before the first "while". That will remove desired category number (in this case number 1):

PHP Code:

<?php query_posts('cat=-1'); ?>

In sidebar.php put this:

PHP Code:

<?php
//The Query
query_posts('cat=1&showposts=5');
//The Loop
if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
  <ul>
  <?while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
  </ul>
<?php else: ?>
  No posts.
<?php endif; ?>
//Reset Query
wp_reset_query();
?>
