Remove specific blog posts from and search, but only visibly by direct link

Hey w3developing!

Please add following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor

function avia_exc_post($query) {
    if ($query->is_search) {
        $query->set('cat','5,9');
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','avia_exc_post');

5 and 9 here are category ID’s. You can give additional category to your posts that you would like to exclude from search and replace the ID’s in the code.

Hi!

Try to use this:

function avf_accordion_entries_query_mod($query, $params) {
    $query['category__not_in'] = array( 27, 18 );
    return $query;
}
add_filter('avf_accordion_entries_query','avf_accordion_entries_query_mod');

Again, you can add a unique category to the posts that you want to exclude. Use the id of that category to replace 27 and 18 in the example above.

Hey!

It’s basically the same as the first filter. Example:

function avf_magazine_entries_query_mod($query, $params) {
    $query['category__not_in'] = array( 27, 18 );
    return $query;
}
add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query','avf_magazine_entries_query_mod');

Best regards,
Ismael
