Title: Query Loop Exclude Posts Author: ColinD Published: December 20, 2024 Last modified: January 20, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/query-loop-exclude-posts.svg) # Query Loop Exclude Posts By [ColinD](https://profiles.wordpress.org/colind/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/query-loop-exclude-posts.1.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-loop-exclude-posts/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-loop-exclude-posts/#reviews) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-loop-exclude-posts/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/query-loop-exclude-posts/) ## Description Extends the Query Loop Block to allow excluding specific posts. 1. Provides controls in the Query Loop Block Select specific posts by title. 2. Provides a toggle to exclude the current post. Works with whichever post type is set for the query loop Block (Post, Page, etc) “Exclude Current Post” is helpful for “related posts” patterns often used on a single post template. Using this option on the query loop block will let it pull in posts but not the single post currently being viewed. ### Development and Support wp This plugin is developed on Github.

This plugin comes to the rescue! Perfect for excluding posts when an offset isn’t enough or excluding the current post when using the Query Loop block for “latest posts” in the sidebar or footer, for example. Thanks!
