Can you exclude current Post

Oh I see you have a filter on the query – wpc_query (2 parameters – $value, $params) *
Maybe I can use this to get what I want? I would maybe need to create a variable with current post ID and drop it into this filter?
Would that work?

Hi,
I wonder could you help with this code to exclude an ID. I’m just trying it by setting my exclude ID to the post ID I want to exclude, 214 in this case.
This is what i have been trying, there’s another attempt commented out:

function ri_wpc_exclude_current( $query_args, $params ) {
    $exclude_ids = array( 214 );// 

    $query_args['post__not_in'] = $exclude_ids;
    //$query_args['post_not_in'] = explode(',', $params['214']);
}
add_filter('wpc_query', 'ri_wpc_exclude_current', 1, 2);

But I get a warning
Warning: Missing argument 2 for ri_wpc_exclude_current()

I tried removing $params from the ri_wpc_exclude_current parameters but that doesn’t work.

Hi,
Thanks. I still get the error – Missing argument 2 for ri_wpc_exclude_current()

with:

function ri_wpc_exclude_current( $query_args, $params ) {
    $exclude_ids = array( 214 );//
    $query_args['post__not_in'] = $exclude_ids;
}
add_filter('wpc_query', 'ri_wpc_exclude_current', 1, 1);

I’m not hugely familiar with filtering an already existing wpQuery.

Hi,

I’m actually putting the code in a custom-post-type single page (trying to exclude the post I’m on from showing in carousel). But i’ve tried in the functions file and get the same warning here Warning: Missing argument 2 for get_query() in and it references the first line where the function is declared.

Think we’re getting closer though, printing out the query array helps. My code now is :

function get_query(  $query, $params ) {
    $exclude_ids =  214;
	echo '<pre>';
		print_r($query);
	echo '</pre>';
    $query['post__not_in'] = $exclude_ids;
    echo '<pre>';
		print_r($query);
	echo '</pre>';
	exit;

	return $query;
}
add_filter('wpc_query', 'get_query', 1, 2);

And I get printed out on the page:

Array
(
    [post_type] => Array
        (
            [0] => head-office-team
        )

    [post_status] => publish
    [posts_per_page] => 8
    [no_found_rows] => 1
    [post__not_in] => Array
        (
            [0] =>
        )

    [orderby] => ID
    [order] => asc
)
Array
(
    [post_type] => Array
        (
            [0] => head-office-team
        )

    [post_status] => publish
    [posts_per_page] => 8
    [no_found_rows] => 1
    [post__not_in] => 214
    [orderby] => ID
    [order] => asc
)

Head-office-team is the custom post type and I’ve printed the query twice to see if I was assigning the value correctly. It looks to be assigned to post__not_in (in second print out) but the warning Missing argument 2 for get_query() shows and the carousel doesn’t load, nor does the rest of the page.
Do I need to do something with $params?

Hey,
I got it to work.
I had to target the post__not_in part of the query and make sure the input was an array. Also, I never notice before but the exit; was obviously just exiting the function so the rest of my page was not loading. This my code now:

function filter_query(  $query ) {
    $exclude_ids =  "212";
	echo '<pre>';
		print_r($query);
	echo '</pre>';
    $query['post__not_in'] = array(212, 214);
    echo '<pre>';
		print_r($query);
	echo '</pre>';

	return $query;
}
add_filter('wpc_query', 'filter_query', 1 );

I was still getting the warning, but by removing the $param arguments that was prevented.
Now I just need to dynamically get the page id into my variable. Should be easy…
Thanks for your help.

PS. for anyone else, remove the echo and print statements from above.
