I searched for hours to find a solution for this and finally stumbled upon this plugin. Custom Post Type Permalinks. This is a great plugin that allows you to add .html to custom post types in wordpress. You can actually create any permalink structure similar to the way permalinks are handled in WordPress by default.

It can be somewhat annoying that WP automatically inserts <p> tags into your posts and pages via the WYSIWYG editor. In order to 86 this functionality you can just add remove_filter (‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); to your functions.php file. You’ll now have to add paragraph tags manually but if you’re semi-savvy with basic html, that shouldn’t be… Read More »

to exclude a certain category of posts from the WP loop: <?php query_posts(“cat=-46”); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> blah blah blah. and then close with the old: <?php //Reset Query wp_reset_query(); ?> To exclude certain categories from an RSS feed on another webpage (like a non-wp homepage): http://yourdomain.com/blog/feed/?cat=-46
