Is “tag__not_in” not working in latest WP?

  • I can’t seem to get “tag__not_in” to work, is it confirmed as working in 2.8.6? The following query still returns posts that have the tag I’m trying to exclude:

    <ul>
<?php
global $schoolCats;
$schools_parent = 26;
$args=array(
'posts_per_page'=> 2,
'cat'=> $schoolCats,
'tag__not_in'=> array(28),
);

$schoolPosts = new WP_Query($args);
while ($schoolPosts->have_posts()) : $schoolPosts->the_post();
	setup_postdata($post);
	$cats = get_the_category();
	$school = "";
	foreach($cats as $category)
		{
		if ($category->category_parent == $schools_parent){
		$school .= $category->cat_name;
		}
	}
 ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br /><strong><?php echo $school; ?></strong><br />
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

    Basically, this is just a loop to display a bunch of posts that aren’t tagged with the tag “resource” (tag ID = 28). I have no idea why it’s not working, I’d be very grateful of any ideas?

  • I am also having this problem. I am curious if it has to do with using the WP_Query object, as I also am.

    $slug = basename(get_permalink());

$activeProjects = new WP_Query();
$activeProjects->query('tag__not_in=57&category_name='.$slug); 

if($activeProjects->have_posts()) : while($activeProjects->have_posts()) : $activeProjects->the_post();

    It must have been bad syntax. This got it working:

    $args=array(
	'cat'=> '54',
	'tag__not_in' => array('57')
);

$activeProjects = new WP_Query();
$activeProjects->query($args); 

if($activeProjects->have_posts()) : while($activeProjects->have_posts()) : $activeProjects->the_post();

    I am having the same problem as gambit37 with tag__not_in. I was trying to exclude posts with a particular tag from the feed, but it just doesn’t seem to work

    function exclude_tag($query) {
if ( $query->is_feed) {
	$query-> set('tag__not_in',array(9278));
	}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','exclude_tag');
