Exclude posts from Archive

  • I am trying to exclude some posts from showing up in a category archive

    The code below I would have thought would exclude the post with id 35385 but it returns no posts at all on the archive. Removing the – in front of the 35385 returns only the post I am trying to exclude. So how come it does not work the other way around and how do I do it?

    function exclude_post( $query ) {
    if ($query->is_archive) {
        $query->set( 'p', -35385 );
        return;
    }//end if
}//end function
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_post' );

  • Hi,
    I have it done this way and it does work.

    function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-11' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

    oh, your trying to exclude single post, sorry.
    so maybe this way?

    function exclude_post( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'p', '-11' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_post' );
