Exclude category from user pages was created by burnyourears
I have a magazine with news and articles. On the author pages I only want to show the articles and exclude the news.
Has anyone any idea how I can exclude the category "news" from the itemlist on the author pages?
Thank you very much for any help or suggestions!

You can probably create an override and change the foreach loop at line 92 or the if statement on line 95 (k2 ver 2.6.2) and hardcode the category you want to skip if the item belongs to it.

Ok, still working on that issue ;-)
I think I have found the part I will have to change:
So I want to exclude all articles in category 115 but I don't have any idea how to code it. Could anyone help me with an idea please?
I think I have found the part I will have to change:
<?php if(count($this->items)): ?>
<!-- Item list -->
<div class="userItemList">
<?php foreach ($this->items as $item): ?>
<!-- Start K2 Item Layout -->
<div class="userItemView<?php if(!$item->published || ($item->publish_up != $this->nullDate && $item->publish_up > $this->now) || ($item->publish_down != $this->nullDate && $item->publish_down < $this->now)) echo ' userItemViewUnpublished'; ?><?php echo ($item->featured) ? ' userItemIsFeatured' : ''; ?>">
So I want to exclude all articles in category 115 but I don't have any idea how to code it. Could anyone help me with an idea please?

You can create a "User page (blog)" menu item and manually select the categories you want to show.

Ah, that's a very good hint ... I will try that, thank you very much.
Is it possible to link the authors profile (via the link on the author's name in articles written by him) automatically to that userpage then?

Yes, if a menu item exists, then that link will be used.
