[Support request] Exclude Post by Taxonomy (category or tag)

Hi there,

There are 2 ways of doing this. In both, we need to use a PHP snippet.

One is to include only the things you want by filtering it.

Example:

add_filter('wpsp_query_args',function( $args, $settings ){
	if ( 1699 === (int) $settings['list_id'] ) {
		$args['tax_query'] = array(
			'relation' => 'OR',
			array(
				'taxonomy' => 'category',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => array( 'campaigns','project-updates' ),
			),
			array(
				'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => array( 'sample-tag-1' ),
			),
    	);
    }
	return $args;
},10,2);

Just make sure you change the values.

Replace 1699 with the ID of your WPSP list. Replace ‘campaigns’ and ‘project-updates’ with your category slugs and replace ‘sample-tag-1’ with your tag slug.

Another way is by actual exclusion:

Example.

add_filter( 'wpsp_query_args', function( $args, $settings ) {
    if ( 1821 === (int) $settings['list_id'] ) {
		$args['category__not_in'] = array(1,8,49);
		$args['tag__not_in'] = array(38);
		
        var_dump($args);
    }

    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

Replace 1699 with the ID of your WPSP list.

Or try Tom’s suggestion here which is the shortcode args filter way.
