exclude-option doesn't work somehow

  • I use this shortcode to display a list of my categories on a page:
    [mctagmap show_categories="yes" exclude="News" columns="1" descriptions="yes" show_navigation="yes" tag_count="yes"]

    That works so far, but under the navigation I see this: “(25)”. If i take a look in the output source code the excluded category seems to be still there somehow:

    <h4 id="mctm-"></h4>
<ul class="links">
<li>
<a href="https://www.domain.com/cat/news/" title=""></a>
<span class="mctagmap_count">(25)</span>
<span class="tagDescription"></span>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="tagindex">

    Is this a bug or did I set something wrong?

    I just ran a couple local tests and I can’t duplicate this. Can you provide a link to the page you are seeing this on?

    Here is a screenshot.

    But I found out something odd. When I add a minus before the tag to exclude like [...exclude="-News"...] it works.

    Thanks but a screenshot isn’t going to help.

    Will there be a bugfix too for this?
    Or shall I just stay with the minus before the tag to exclude?

    Your short code you are saying exclude="Top-News" but I have a feeling your tag does not include that hyphen. Have you tried exclude="Top News" ? Typically the hyphenated tag is the slug not the name

    No that doesn’t work. But it also isn’t working with one word tag names…

    I’m out of ideas then. Something just doesn’t add up. The only thing I can do from here is ask that you set me up an account on your site and email me a user/pass and I can actually take a look. You can email me at alan[at]tugbucket.net if you would like me to look around.
