Great And Unpopular Plugin!!!!
by mathst·3 years ago
This plugin solved a problem I’ve been trying to solve for almost one week now. I’ve been jumping from one popular plugin to another in vain.
But this simple plugin did the trick as soon as installed it and selected the categories to be excluded. And boom!!! Those posts were gone from my blog page. Now I can have a sound sleep at lastt.
Thaks you very much.
