you get the current post Id, for instance with global $post; $postID = $post->ID; (you might not need the ‘global’ if you are in the single.php template);
and exclude the post ID from the query with 'post__not_in' => array( $postID )

it might just work with:
<?php $query = array ( 'post_type' => 'affiliates', 'affiliatetype' => 'apps', 'category__in' => $post_categories, 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ) ); ?>
alchymyth, I appreciate your input but this does not seem to be working. When I’m viewing the single post, in my list module (which pulls the lates 4 post in the same category) this single post is still displaying as a link even though I’m viewing it. This is something that is happening on a global basis.
I found this back 3 years ago on here:
<?php
$yourcat = 373; // Stick the ID here and it'll be placed in the relevant places below.
if( in_category( $yourcat ) ) :
$my_query = new WP_Query(array(
'showposts' => 3,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'cat' => $yourcat,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID)
)); unset($yourcat);
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo p75GetThumbnail($post->ID, 100, 100); ?>"></a>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>
how could i incorporate this into my code:
<ul class="icons">
<?php $post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ); ?>
<?php $query = array ( 'post_type' => 'articles', 'articletype' => 'news', 'category__in' => $post_categories, 'posts_per_page' => 4 ); ?>
<?php $queryObject = new WP_Query($query); ?>
<?php if ($queryObject->have_posts()) : while ($queryObject->have_posts()) : $queryObject->the_post(); ?>
<li class="icon-file"><a href="/articles/<?php echo basename(get_permalink()); ?>/"><?php if (strlen($post->post_title) > 33) { echo substr(the_title($before = '', $after = '', FALSE), 0, 33) . '...'; } else { the_title();} ?>
</a></li>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<li>No research articles found.</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>

what code exactly did you try?
is that ‘list module’ directly coded into single.php or done with a function or widget?
I found this back 3 years ago on here:
because that code uses the same ‘post__not_in’ parameter, I would be surprised if that code would work where my suggestion does not work.
I used this
<?php $query = array ( 'post_type' => 'affiliates', 'affiliatetype' => 'apps', 'category__in' => $post_categories, 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ) ); ?>
is that ‘list module’ directly coded into single.php or done with a function or widget?
This is a chunk of code in my custom taxonomy single page: single-taxonomy.php
a thought: would this have anything to do with the fact that I’m pulling from a sub category?
possibly, the $post->ID is somehow changed before you call the code, and is not the one from the single post.
try to check what it by printing it before the code;
<?php echo $post->ID; ?>
have you tried with <?php global $post; ?> ?
it’s returning the proper post id – I can’t get this thing to work at all.
Display all posts related to category but do not include the currently displayed post in the list:
<ul>
<?php $post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ); ?>
<?php $query = array ( 'post_type' => 'community', 'category__in' => $post_categories, 'posts_per_page' => 5 ); ?>
<?php $queryObject = new WP_Query($query); ?>
<?php if ($queryObject->have_posts()) : while ($queryObject->have_posts()) : $queryObject->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php if (strlen($post->post_title) > 22) { echo substr(the_title($before = '', $after = '', FALSE), 0, 22) . '...'; } else { the_title();} ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<li>No related resources found.</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<li class="last"><i class="icon-circle-arrow-right"></i> <a href="/community/category/sleep/">View All Resources</a></li>
</ul>
