 * Hi there,
 * I’d like to exclude some templates that we created for the courses but it’s not
   working at all and I cannot find a mistake.
    I used it like exclude=”template”
   and wrote template in the title of the courses. They are still all shown.
 * Is there a known bug here?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi [@sfahr2020](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sfahr2020/),
 * Note, the exclude parameter in the shortcode excludes webinars which contain 
   that exact word somewhere in the title. I would also double check the way you
   have done your quotes around template, it should be like “template”.
 * So with exclude=”template” it would mean the following webinar wouldn’t show:
 * “This is my webinar template”
 * and this would show
 * “This is another webinar title”
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * I used the exact wording for the exclude parameter.
    I have the same problem 
   with include=”example” to generate a filter that is also not working.

 * Hi [@sfahr2020](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sfahr2020/),
 * I am not sure why this would be. To provide further help what I recommend doing
   is creating a page with the shortcode with no filters, and then underneath the
   shortcode with filters, take a screenshot of the edit page and send me a link
   to the live page.
 * Thanks,
