  • I think I get what you are asking…you want to exclude posts from a particular tag, yeah?

    If so, try this:

    <?php
    $include = wp_list_pluck( get_the_tags(), 'term_id' );
    $exclude = array( 123 ); // ID of tag to exclude
    $args = array(
        'tag__in'        => $include,
        'tag__not_in'    => $exclude,
        'post__not_in'   => array( $post->ID ),
        'posts_per_page' => 3,
        'orderby'        => 'rand'
    );
    $query = new WP_Query($args);
    while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
?>
    <!-- Inside the loop. -->
<?php
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

    You just have to set the $exclude variable to the ID of the tag(s) you want to exclude.
