How to separate Snax posts from regular posts?

Sometimes you want to handle the user-submitted posts separately. Snax allows you to do this by auto-assigning a category to all Snax posts. Then, you can exclude this category from displaying on the home page.

To auto assign the Snax posts to a category, please take the following easy steps:

  • Go to the WP admin › Settings › General
  • Find the Auto assign to category option.
  • Choose a category and save the settings.

To exclude the Snax posts from home page, please take the following easy steps:

  • Go to the WP admin › Appearance › Customize.
  • Go to the Home › Main Collection section.
  • Mark the Snax's category under the Exclude categories option.
