Hi @vervangenenzo,
For this you will need to use the alm_query_args filter and use a category__not_in query.
<?php
function my_excluded_cat($args, $id){
$args['category__not_in'] = array('10'); // 10 is the excluded cat id
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'alm_query_args_{my_alm_id}', 'my_excluded_cat', 10, 2);
Hope this helps.
Hi @dcooney!
Thanks for your reply that fast. I think I understand what you’re saying. It is in fact the same as in the plugin settings where I have to include and exclude categories, isn’t it? (But why is a category that is not included, automatically excluded?)
I’ve now put the code into a new page, but I saw at the “help-section” of the plugin that I can also create my own archive page with the code, am I right?
Thanks again!
Erick

Oh wow, sorry! Sometimes I forget what functionality my plugin has. You’re correct.
This is tricky, but I think instead you may need to use the technique found in the docs.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters
Exclude Posts Belonging to Category
Display all posts except those from a category by prefixing its id with a ‘-‘ (minus) sign.
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'cat' => '-12,-34,-56' ) );

Yes.

Yes.
Thumbs up! Gonna try that tomorrow!
I created the archive page and I found out that if I when I go to the a link like mywebsite.nl/blog it automatically shows post only with the category. So for me, the problem with exlcuding posts is solved.
But I’ve two other questions:
1. In WordPress I changed the Repeater template. Will it be overwritten when the plugin is update?
2. In my new archive-page I want to show (and load) six posts at the time. It’s five now and I don’t seem to get it changed. Can I add a line in my archive.php that does that or should I change it in the plugin somewhere? (I’m not using the shortcode in a page).
Thanks for all your help so far!
Erick
3. Is it also possible to use it in the search.php to display the results?
<?php if(is_author()){ ?>
<?php
$author = get_the_author_meta(‘ID’);
echo do_shortcode(‘[ajax_load_more author=”‘.$author.'”]’);
?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if(is_category()){ ?>
<?php
$cat = get_category( get_query_var( ‘cat’ ) );
$category = $cat->slug;
?>
<h1 class=”h1-site-item”> <?php echo single_cat_title(”, false );?> </h1>
<?php
echo do_shortcode(‘[ajax_load_more category=”‘.$category.'”]’);
?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if(is_tag()){ ?>
<h1><span>Tag:</span> <?php echo single_cat_title(”, false );?></h1>
<?php
$tag = get_query_var(‘tag’);
echo do_shortcode(‘[ajax_load_more tag=”‘.$tag.'”]’);
?>
<?php } ?>
For my archive.php template, I’m not using the shortcode, or at least I don’t know how I can insert it in the code above.
There is a complete archive example inside the plugin under Help > Examples.
Thanks! I found the examples under Help. The archive.php code was a great help, because it solved my problems with the excluding categories. But the post_per_pages, I don’t get it completely. How to implement the shortcode into that archive example?
You see, I’m not that good with php… 🙂 So probably, there will be some questions on their way.
Erick
Ok, sounds good. closing this for now.
I made some new try today. I included the shortcode you gave me into this:
<?php
$post = get_posts(‘post’);
echo do_shortcode(‘[posts_per_page=”6″]’);
?>
Somewhere it’s going wrong, because it doesn’t work yet. In my WordPress-settings the number of posts per page is set to 6, so it’s weird that it still is showing 5.
