Yes, you can exclude the latest post form the Post Grid block.

I had tried this, but this seems to be if I want to add a grid to a post and have it exclude that particular post (the current post).

In my case, I have a static page, not a post. I want to exclude the most recent post from a specific grid. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hello @dip-recipes ,

You can exclude posts from the Post Grid block using the following filter.

To do that please follow the following steps:-

• To apply different filters for a specific block you need to add a unique class to the block from the Advanced Tab of Post Grid Block.
• You need to get the post IDs of the Pages or Posts you want to exclude.
• After that, you need to add the following filter in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function filter_post_query( $query_args, $attributes) {
    // Unique class name added from Advanced tab for Post Grid.
    if ( 'my-post-grid-class' == $attributes['className'] ) {
        // 123 and 456 is the post id you want to exclude.
        $query_args['post__not_in'] = array( 123,456 );
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'uagb_post_query_args_grid', 'filter_post_query', 10, 2 );

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Awesome, thank you so much!

I have the same requirement. Maybe this could be a feature of Post Grid.

Yes, I’d love to see this as an added feature.

The code above works, but I have to manually update it with the latest post ID every time I add a new post.
