Is there an easy way to target a specific folder and exclude it as a whole with all its content? Please advise.
Thanks!
Hello,
this is the 2nd plugin that I test to solve this problem but I still feel hopeless…
I wish these internal letter categories to not exist in the list of the search tool of the front page. Is it possible ?
Hello,
I’m getting a notification from WordFence that this plugin has not been updated in over 2 years. Has this plugin been abandoned? Is it still safe to use?
Thanks.
]]>I think this plugin no longer works with WP4.8
I can’t see the options on widgets any more, there used to be a list of pages to set hide/show and set of rules beneath the widget options which no longer appears.
is this plugin abandoned?
]]>I excluded a category from archives which is working.
But now, if I click on the sidebar tag cloud links, no results are shown for those posts.
I only checked “Archives” not “Widget: Tag Cloud” for this category.
Does that mean that if “Archives” is checked, the posts also don’t appear on the tag pages anymore?

When i am excluding a post it is still showing in the homepage
]]>With Simply Exclude active, I can no longer search within “All Pages” in the Dashboard. Whenever I try to search, the search URL that is created is so long that it throws the error “Request-URI Too Long”. It has the normal stuff, but then at the end it keeps repeating:
&se_cfg%5Bpage%5D%5Bterms%5D%5Bis_search%5D%5B22750%5D=on
&se_cfg%5Bpage%5D%5Bterms%5D%5Bwidget_pages%5D%5B22750%5D=on
…and on and on, all on the same line of course. Unencoding that gives:
&se_cfg[page][terms][is_search][22750]=on
The only thing that changes each time it repeats is that 5 digit number. Deactivation the plugin solves it.
]]>I couldnt figure out how this plugin worked. I needed it to exclude only posts for one specific category from the search.
I uninstalled it and now my search results are blank.
]]>Hello,
I realized today that a ton of my new registered users have not been able to verify their registration emails. Narrowing down the cause by disabling all plugins and changing my theme to TwentyFifteen, then enabling plugins one at a time, showed that Simply Exclude was the problem.
I can’t find anywhere that explains to me what “Situation (bp-email-type)” and “Tags (bp_member_type)” is for, or why they were enabled, but when they were disabled, the issue stopped.
What was happening is when someone tried to register, they would receive an email that said:
“Membership request for group “{{group.name}}” rejected”
instead of being supplied with a link to verify their registration.
I am using the latest WordPress, and the most updated version of Simply Exclude that was given to me in WordPress updates. For now I’m just going to keep this plugin deactivated, but I wanted to post this up especially if anyone else was getting this issue, because I couldn’t find it anywhere on the internet or what might be the cause.
]]>Hiya there,

]]>Across several of our sites, we have the Simply Excluded plugin ‘exclude’ confirmation pages from on-site search. All of our sites are on the same theme.
On one of our sites, those pages continue to show up in our on-site search results.
We’ve compared the setup of the plugin across all of our sites and all settings are the same for the plugin setup (so every setting under Taxonomies, Post Types and Users is the same across all sites). Additionally, we verified that every page we want to exclude from on-site searches has the appropriate settings checked (Simply Exclude > Searches, along with Widget: Pages).
However, the pages are still showing up under our site search.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
]]>Hi
I have theme that uses Masonry, that loads more posts by clicking a “load more” link at the bottom of the screen. If I exclude a post from the homepage with this plugin, the last post on my homepage is duplicated when I load more posts.
I tried playing around with “$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;” in the loop, which didn’t work.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

]]>When using SSL to access the site admin, the browser will throw a “mixed content” error and won’t load some needed .js files (saving options won’t work, for example).
The problem occurs because the variable WP_PLUGIN_URL, used to enqueue the plugin’s scripts and styles, doesn’t honor the HTTPS protocol and always generate URLs with ‘https://’.
The solution is simple, though. On file simplyexclude.php at line 46, where it reads:
$this->plugindir_url = WP_PLUGIN_URL . "/". $plugindir_node;
Change it to:
$this->plugindir_url = plugins_url( $plugindir_node );
I’d like to note that this also solved the problem of missing content on my site’s home page, as reported by others in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/simply-exclude-plugin-preventing-blog-posts-from-displaying-on-blog-page?replies=7

]]>Hi,
Please let me ask you if I’m in the right place. Does Simply Exclude plugin stop sending emails like posts / product updates to the other users and how can somebody achieve that if yes? ??
Any response will be appreciated.
Cheers
]]>Hello ??
When I choose my settings in the plugin settings, I cannot validate them (no button?) so there’s no effet then. The page refresh and my settings aren’t saved.
Any solution ?
Thanks !

]]>Hi Paul,
The feature mentioned in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/user-role-4 about a year ago is exactly the workflow capability that would make life so much easier for the ‘Editors’. The entire situation and solution described is inline with what we need as well.
Is there anything we can do to assist in delivering the solution as described?
]]>When the Simply Exclude plugin is active the post list in the backend is just a blank white window. When the plugin is deactivated all is fine.
]]>Hello,
Let me preface this by saying I am not sure if I’m using the plugin correctly. However, there is a portfolio item I’d like to have excluded from the site search display results.
I cannot edit settings to accommodate my request.
Please help.
Thank you,

Hi,
I find this plugin pretty awesome and I want to recommend it in the WordPress themes that I’m building.
I’m trying to exclude some custom posts on front-page and I see that the plugin supports the exclusion of custom post types only in searches. is this intentional?
I could try to help you with a pull request on github, but I need to know if this is left out for a reason.
Thanks,
Andrei

Hello,
I’m having trouble getting the wp menu to recognize that I have placed this plugin in my plugin folder. I’m not exactly sure why it won’t display. Any help would be appreciated!
]]>This plugin is causing all languages to be displayed in search results page using Polylang. I deactivated the plugin and the issue went away. Could you help me sort this out, maybe a setting needs to be changed?
]]>Hey there,
I just found this plugin and will use it to exclude some posts from my frontpage. But I think the design is a little overkill. To have these 4 checkboxes for each post in the post list makes the list really long. I would prefer if this line would only show the settings in a nice short form and to be able to change this via the “quick edit” or on the post editing page itself.
Hope this is possible and will be done since it really makes managing loads of posts harder if the list gets longer and longer.
Best Regards
Chris
Simply exclude works fine for me on the internet, but in the mobile theme (I think it’s provided by Jetpack, however it’s nothing I’ve installed especially) all taxonomies shows despite only “Nyheter” (news) are supposed to show. Is there anything I can do to get it work?
]]>Hi, I installed Simply Exclude on my client’s website earlier today. She’s using the 2014 theme and all components of the site are updated. We need to exclude 2 of 3 categories from the Home page archive. I also needed to exclude one post from another archive. The Home page exclusions were working for a few minutes, but they reverted without any changes to the settings and now we have the Articles category displaying on Home again.
I thought my settings were correct to begin with, but now that the Home page reverted to showing everything I’ve experimented with a number of different settings and nothing is changing it – all the posts from Articles category are still showing.
HELP! I have to get this done before Ms. Novak leaves for Los Angeles Monday morning! How do I change the plugin settings so Articles and Uncategorized categories are excluded from Home? The post I did not want displaying in the Articles category is properly hidden, but it is showing on the Home page along with a duplicate article and two others.
Our 3 categories are: Paintings, Articles, and Uncategorized. We want ONLY the Paintings category to show on Home. We want the Articles category to display ONLY on the Articles archive page. We do not want any uncategorized articles to display on the site. How do I set the plugin to give Ms. Novak the results she desires? Thank you
]]>Hello Paul,
Thanks for the plugin!
It’s working fine, only one problem:
When i exclude a post from a category and save the post it will show as first new post on the main page, but after refreshing the post is not visible, as it should.
Any suggestion how to solve this?
