    Hello everyone. I am looking for some help excluding a post from my home page main query.
    I am using this code:

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_my_post_types_to_query' );

function add_my_post_types_to_query( $query ) {
	if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
		$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'custom' ) );
	return $query;
}

    taken from WordPress Codex to display my custom post type on home page together with my regular posts. It is working perfectly and I don’t want to change anything. But let’s say I have a custom post type post with id=5 for example and I would like to exclude it from the above query. How to achieve that? Any help appreciated.

  • Try using:

    function add_my_post_types_to_query($query)
{
	if ($query->is_home() AND $query->is_main_query())
	{
		$query->set('post_type', array('post', 'custom'));

		$query->set('post__not_in', array(5));
	}
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'add_my_post_types_to_query');
