I don’t see any filtering. Two stars for not messing anything else up.

Perfect. Thanks a lot for this free plugin. By the way, the expression “which categories should be shown on the site frontpage.” is confusing and I doubted to try the plugin. In fact, the plugin filters which categories should be shown on the site’s blog page. (What I wanted to be done) 😉

in fact I am the publisher of the plugin and it’s natural that I rate it the best. But, indeed it does the work that is expected without adding any complexity. Just install it and select the categories that you would like to appear on the front page.
