 * Hello
    I have set up a negative condition so the popup doesn’t show in 2 pages.
   I’m using the “OR” option and clicked the ‘!’ mark, which turned into red. But
   still, the pop up is showing on these pages. Is there anything else that should
   be done?

   I also tried the ‘AND’ operator but the popup still shows up ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-targeting-not-working/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-targeting-not-working/)).
 * Thanks,
    Dan

 * Hi [@danstramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danstramer/)
 * Thank you for reaching out, and we’re sorry the negative condition is not working
   on your popup.
 * We checked the negative condition and ‘AND’ operator. The popup does not show
   on selected pages with the negative condition.
 * Here’s how we test it:
 * [https://share.getcloudapp.com/7Ku6X0pA](https://share.getcloudapp.com/7Ku6X0pA)
 * It looks like a caching issue.
 * Could you try the following?
 * – Ensure ‘AND’ operator is in use on the targeting settings.
    – Ensure the selected
   targeting has the negative condition. – Clear out any browser, WordPress, server,
   database, and CDN caches you have. – Retest using a private or incognito window
   with no active browser extensions.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I’ve applied the ‘AND’ operator but the condition
   only works for the first condition (‘pages selected’) The other pages where a
   taxonomy of ‘landing page’ is applied still shows the popup: [https://artofretirement.ca/landing-page-tax-efficient-retirement/](https://artofretirement.ca/landing-page-tax-efficient-retirement/)
   On this page: [https://artofretirement.ca/join-our-mailing-list/](https://artofretirement.ca/join-our-mailing-list/)
   the pop up is not showing (which is correct). So it seems it’s picking up just
   the first condition. I’m using incognito window.
 * it’s counter intuitive to use the ‘AND’ operator since these 2 conditions are
   not related and will never happen together.
 * See screenshot:

 * Please let me know your thoughts,
 * Thanks,

 * Hi [@danstramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danstramer/)
 * Thank you for your reply, and for the clarification.
 * In my understanding, categories and tags (taxonomy) are enabled for WordPress
   post type – **Pages**.
 * Could you replace the targeting for the landing page, and use **“Pages: With 
   Category”**, and select landing page?
 * For example: [https://share.getcloudapp.com/z8umdxgN](https://share.getcloudapp.com/z8umdxgN)
 * It will not show the popup on landing pages with that taxonomy category, but 
   if you don’t want to show the popup on the specific page [https://artofretirement.ca/landing-page-tax-efficient-retirement/](https://artofretirement.ca/landing-page-tax-efficient-retirement/),
   kindly use “Pages: Selected”, and select that page.
 * We hope that helps. Let us know how that goes.
 * Thank you!
