Save Coding Time by Creating Special-Case Categories in WordPress
When you would use excluded categories:
When using WordPress as more of a content management system (CMS) than a blogging platform, there are many things that you need control over. One of them is special-case categories.
- Frequently asked questions
- Testimonials
- Case studies
- Press releases
When you have a category of posts that you don’t want to have comments, publishing dates, post author, etc., you can define a list of excluded categories. In most cases, you should use Category Templates to achieve this functionality, but that is not always practical or the best option.

How to Display a Random Testimonial or Post in WordPress
Set up a testimonials category — no need for a plugin.
There are a couple of plugins designed specifically for testimonials, but I didn’t want to use them; they use their own databases, and don’t keep with WordPress’ simplicity. If possible, the best way to work with WordPress is to use it’s built-in functionality.
I also wanted to have the testimonials as a category in WP, rather than as a separate plugin. This code will work for any type of category, not just a testimonial.
Here’s how to create a random post item in your sidebar:
