Exclude current post

    Hello,
    I am looking for a way to exclude the current post from the query results.

    I know that, via the WP_Query, I must exclude the {{post:ID}}.
    Here I found how to get values from the current post:
    [query slug="my-query" args="p={{post:ID}}"]

    but the contrary doesn’t seem working. I tried for example this:
    [query slug="my-query" args="p!={{post:ID}}"]
    but without success.

    I try to achieve the following query:
    [qw_query slug="my-query" args="p!={{post:ID}}&s=my-keyword&post-type=post"] (= “show all posts containing the my-keyword excepted the current post”)

    Can you please help?

    Hi legius,

    If you do not already have a Post IDs filter on your query, you can achieve this by adding one.

    1. Add Filter – Post IDs
    2. Provide the post IDs: {{post:ID}}
    3. Change “How to treat these post IDs” to show “Not these posts”

    Here is a screenshot of the filter.

    This will automatically exclude the current post anywhere the query is show, so you won’t have to use the shortcode arguments.

    Note: The reason i qualified this with “If you do not have a Post IDs filter on your query” is because a query can’t have both a “post__in” and “post__not_in” filters.

    If you already have a Post IDs filter that is including specific posts, then this approach won’t work. Let me know and I’ll come up with something else.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,
    thanks for your answer, it works exactly as I needed.
    I tried to do it via the shortcode argument without thinking that the {{post:ID}} can be used also in the Query settings filter.

    Perfect!
    And thanks for such a quick help!
