Excludeposts no longer works 0.38 – 0.39

I’ll look into this further this week. Thanks for reporting it!

Thanks for looking into it! ??

Can you please check if this is working *without* the template? Thanks.

I deleted the “template=template1” part of the code, updated the plugin to the very latest 0.40.1, and the excluded posts immediately showed up upon page reload, so it appears that it does not work for me with or without template code in place.

[catlist name=scale-projects numberposts=-1 excerpt=yes excludeposts=623,625,627,629,631,1351 orderby=date order=dsc]

I’ll try to delete other parts to see if it makes a difference.

I tried keeping only the catlist name and excludeposts code, and still exclude posts does not work for me in the latest release of the plugin but goes back to normal when I activate 0.37.

[catlist name=scale-projects excludeposts=623,625,627,629,631,1351]

Thanks for all this info. I’ve been checking this out and the issue is because I changed the way to retrieve posts from the “get_posts” function to using “WP_Query”. I found I had to change some code to make the exclude posts parameter work, but haven’t made it work yet. But I’m on track with it, so I’ll have more news as soon as I have more time to debug and fix it!

No problem!

Ok, got it fixed, there’ll be a new release later today. Please let me know if it’s working for you once you update and test it.

Thanks for reporting it!
Cheers,

Yes, it appears to be working just fine. Thanks for the fix!

Happy to read that ??

We had this problem too. It looks as though using ‘this’ as in excludeposts=this no longer works, but it was OK if we put the actual post number instead of ‘this’.

helpfulwebhosting: I fixed the ‘this’ value for the excludeposts parameter. It will be available on the next release, thanks!
