   I have multiple categories I'm excluding from the blog on inFocus, but only the first category I've selected is being excluded. I've switched around which category is first and whichever one is first is excluded while all the rest are shown.

   Hello cconover,

   It seems to be working fine on my end. If possible send us a link to your page and let us know which categories you are excluding. If your using the blog shortcode then paste it here so we can see how it's being used.

   Here's the page: http://christiaanconover.com

   The categories I'm excluding are: Short Stuff, KB3MMY

   Short Stuff is the first category being excluded, and is being excluded. KB3MMY is the second, and is not being excluded.

   This is in the inFocus admin panel Blog settings. No shortcode is being used.

   Looks like it could be a bug when using it on the homepage.

   Try opening up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/functions/theme.php and around line 1198 you should see this,

   $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( 'post_type'=> 'post', 'paged'=> $paged, 'offset' => $mysite->offset, 'category__not_in' => mysite_exclude_category_string( $minus = false ) ) );

   Try changing it like this,

   $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( 'post_type'=> 'post', 'paged'=> $paged, 'offset' => $mysite->offset, 'cat' => mysite_exclude_category_string() ) );

   That looks to have worked, thanks!

   It was actually on line 1184, FYI.
