Excluding a specific category in a photo gallery

  • Hi there,

    I am working with a Wp theme on a site and I am having a problem excluding categories from the photo gallery. This is the work in progress site. I am trying to exclude 2-3 categories from the catch all part of the photo gallery under the ‘shop’ nav. For example I want to exclude the colors from the shop but still allow them to show up under the ‘colors’ tab.

    I am thinking it is somewhere in the bit of code below. I have been searching everywhere and tried a few things but I am not very savvy at php. Any insight would be awesome. 

    <?php
		//get portfolio categories
		$cats = get_terms('portfolio_cats');
		//show filter if categories exist
		if($cats[1] !='') { ?>

        <!-- Portfolio Filter -->
        <ul class="filter clearfix">
        	<li class="sort"><?php _e('Sort Items','workz'); ?>:
            <li class="cat-item active"><a href="#all"><span><?php _e('All', 'workz'); ?></span></a>
            <?php
            foreach ($cats as $cat ) : ?>
            <li class="cat-item"><a>slug; ?>" class="<?php echo $cat->slug; ?>"><span><?php echo $cat->name; ?></span></a>
            <?php endforeach; ?>

	<?php } ?>

  • $cats = get_terms(‘portfolio_cats) assigns the variable $cats with an array of all of the term objects of the portfolio_cats custom taxonomy. So once you do the loop (foreach ($cats as $cat )), the variable $cat will be assigned, one at a time, with the different term objects. That term object’s values are obtained by referencing the object’s properties, so echo $cat->name will echo the name property of the current term object. So in order to skip some of the custom taxonomy terms, you could, within the foreach loop, do something like:

    if ($cat->name == 'this_term_should_be_skipped')
{
     continue;
}
else
{
     // the code that is already in the foreach loop...
}

    try something like this

    $args = array(
'category__not_in' => some_id
'more_args' => ''
);

$loop = new WP_QUERY($args)

while($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post() ;
// your content for the loop
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
