The No.1 plugin to enable CMS like functionality, content separation, and create real sub pages, from traditional categories.

== Description ==

This plugin was born because there was a no other real alternative to enable **CMS like functionality** in WordPress.
The main goal was, to enhance WordPress’s functionalities, to hide some unwanted categories, from defined parts of the blog.

Today, it can override your search results, your RSS feed listing, your category listing, and also your entry page, if you want to. This is great, for SEO reasons, for content separation, for grouping information, and handle them as real sub pages.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin affect my category listing on the sidebar?  =

It depends on you. 
Let's say it can affect it, if you enable this feature, and also specify any of the categories for exclusion on the ACE Dashboard.

= If I post in one category that is hidden, and another one as well, which is not. What will happen? =

Then, your post won't be hidden.
This plugin only hides your post, if all of the defined categories selected for exclusion.
