  In blog.php look for $query_string ="post_type=post&paged=$paged"; in line 160 and change it with:
  
  $query_string ="post_type=post&paged=$paged&cat=-16";
  
  That's all.

  in blog.php
  
  find the line no.168
  
  query_posts($query_string);
  
  replace it from
  
  $query_string.= '&cat=-'.$cat_id;
  
  query_posts($query_string);
  
  where $cat_id is the id of the category you want to exclude

  Im banking on the fact that there is an setting in the Options Panel for the theme that lets you exclude categories because of this:
  
  

  
  
  query_string.= '&cat=-'.$cat_id;
  
  

  
  
  $cat_id would have to come from somewhere

  try this filter in blog.php
  
  
  
  

  function exclude_category($query) {
  
  //if (is_page('blog')) {
  
  $query->set('cat', '-16');
  
  //}
  
  return $query;
  
  }
  
  add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
  
  

  
  
  where 16 is the category_id to exclude and 'blog' is the name of your page where the exclude is to take place.
