Exclude category or tag from Masonry pull/avoid duplicate posts on frontpage

Hi,

You can tr to combine the category__not_in with the category__in parameter like:

add_filter('avia_masonry_entries_query', 'avia_masonry_custom_query');

function avia_masonry_custom_query( $query ) {
$exclude_cat = array("category__in" => array(1), "category__not_in" => array(2));
$query = array_merge((array)$exclude_cat, (array)$query);
return $query;
}

Replace 1 with the category id of category 1 and 2 with the category id of category 2.

Hi,

No, I thought you want to change the masonry element (like mentioned in the first post). If you want to change the magazine query use this code:

add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avia_magazine_custom_query', 10, 2);

function avia_magazine_custom_query( $query, $params ) {
$exclude_cat = array("category__in" => array(1), "category__not_in" => array(2));
$query = array_merge((array)$exclude_cat, (array)$query);
return $query;
}

Hi,

I haven’t tested it but you can try to use the css class field to apply the code to certain magazine elements only.

1) Activate the css class option field: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/intro-to-advanced-layout-builder/#turn-on-custom-css-class-field-for-all-alb-elements

2) Insert the css class “avf_remove_duplicate_cats” (without the quotes) into the field (magazine element you want to filter)

3) Save the elements/page

4) Add this code to the funtions.php file

add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avia_magazine_custom_query', 10, 2);
function avia_magazine_custom_query( $query, $params ) {
	if(!empty($params['class']) && strpos($params['class'], 'avf_remove_duplicate_cats') !== false)
	{
		$exclude_cat = array("category__in" => array(1), "category__not_in" => array(2));
		$query = array_merge((array)$exclude_cat, (array)$query);
	}
	return $query;
}

and replace 1 and 2 with your category ids.
