Exclude category from archive list

[canuck]

Is there a way to exclude a category from an archive listing? I know I can exclude categories from a blog page (with the right page type), but for the archives, how do I exclude them in there? Via the functions.php? If so, how?

Hello,

If you’re looking to modify queries of WordPress archives — i.e. archives by date, category, tag, etc — this isn’t really going to have anything to with what the theme is doing. This will be a customization you’ll need to do a little research on and make from either the functions.php of your child theme or your own plugin’s files. Most likely you’re going to want to filter pre_get_posts:
