This plugin allows your registered users to exclude some categories from the queries on your site.
As of April 2026, My Category Excluder is a WordPress user plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 3.1K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.8+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2010. Last updated 15 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: User Role Editor.
It adds extra option fields to the user profile page where user can select the categories he wants to exclude from the site. You can allow excluding from the “Home page”, “Archive pages (excluding category archives)” or “Feeds” and also you can set which categories can users select for excluding. You will find all these setting on “My Category Excluder Settings” page in your admin panel.
It is really easy to use. User just selects the categories he wants to exclude on the “Your Profile” page in “Exclude these categories from the site” section and hits the “Update Profile” button.
I am open to suggestions to improve the plugin !
