My web site has a number of posts now and it would be cumbersome to add a taxonomy or a custom meta field to all. So I add a field named “exclude” with the value “true” to the posts I want to discard from this specific list.
You should be able to choose exactly which categories you want to include posts from. This way, you can simply leave the ones you want to exclude un-checked.
Well, not ideal since we’re using several taxonomies and in each one, the post We want to exclude from the list share some other term(s) with others that must show up. Of course, we can create another taxonomy and apply to each and one of the posts (some 800) the appropriate term.
If we can’t exclude employing Custom post Field we’ll try this approach.
