   I can't seem to get "tag__not_in" to work, is it confirmed as working in 2.8.6? The following query still returns posts that have the tag I'm trying to exclude:

   <ul>
   <?php
   global $schoolCats;
   $schools_parent = 26;
   $args=array(
   'posts_per_page'=> 2,
   'cat'=> $schoolCats,
   'tag__not_in'=> array(28),
   );
   
   $schoolPosts = new WP_Query($args);
   while ($schoolPosts->have_posts()) : $schoolPosts->the_post();
   	setup_postdata($post);
   	$cats = get_the_category();
   	$school = "";
   	foreach($cats as $category)
   		{
   		if ($category->category_parent == $schools_parent){
   		$school .= $category->cat_name;
   		}
   	}
    ?>
   <li>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br /><strong><?php echo $school; ?></strong><br />
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   </li>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   </ul>

   Basically, this is just a loop to display a bunch of posts that aren't tagged with the tag "resource" (tag ID = 28). I have no idea why it's not working, I'd be very grateful of any ideas?

   I am also having this problem. I am curious if it has to do with using the WP_Query object, as I also am.
   

   $slug = basename(get_permalink());
   
   $activeProjects = new WP_Query();
   $activeProjects->query('tag__not_in=57&category_name='.$slug); 
   
   if($activeProjects->have_posts()) : while($activeProjects->have_posts()) : $activeProjects->the_post();

   It must have been bad syntax. This got it working:
   

   $args=array(
   	'cat'=> '54',
   	'tag__not_in' => array('57')
   );
   
   $activeProjects = new WP_Query();
   $activeProjects->query($args); 
   
   if($activeProjects->have_posts()) : while($activeProjects->have_posts()) : $activeProjects->the_post();

   I am having the same problem as gambit37 with tag__not_in. I was trying to exclude posts with a particular tag from the feed, but it just doesn't seem to work
   

   function exclude_tag($query) {
   if ( $query->is_feed) {
   	$query-> set('tag__not_in',array(9278));
   	}
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','exclude_tag');
