Good afternoon. In WP theme I created in Pinegrow in a given loop, like that Category 5 was not shown in this loop. How to do this in Pinegrow?

- From The loop settings, create a **Custom WP Query**

Note: We have [a documentation](http://docs.pinegrow.com/wordpress-themes/create-a-loop-with-a-custom-post-type) with an example of Custom WP query.

- Name it **cat\_filter** for example

- From the **Category parameters** section, enter the categories ID that you want to remove.

Note: [Reveal IDs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/) is a cool plugin if you want to easily find categories IDs.

- From **Category Opts** , set to **not in** so the categories will be excluded from the loop.

- Try your loop 🙂
