[Resolved] Query Loop

[Adarsha]

Hey, I am using query loop for related posts via elements.
But the post under which I use also shows the same post in related post.
Is there a option to disable showing the main post?

I was using WP show posts till now and it had a way to hide the main post.

Hi Adarsha,

To clarify, are you referring to excluding the current post in your Query Loop Block?

If so, you can use a filter to do as such.

Add my-class-name to the Post Template Block as such: https://share.getcloudapp.com/qGuOrgnZ

Then add this PHP snippet:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
    if ( ! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && strpos( $attributes['className'], 'my-class-name' ) !== false ) {
        
		$query_args['post__not_in'] = [get_the_ID()];
    }

    return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );

Adding PHP reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/#code-snippets

Hope this helps!

Snippets plugin has option to “run the php sitewide”
Should I do that?

[Ying]

Yes.

I’m not sure how to add the “my-class-name”

I am using elements for related posts.
So for each category, there is new element.

I tried adding it to the element and that does not hide.

The class needs to be added to the query loop block.

That worked. Thank you

While I’m at this, can I deactivate snippets plugin? I have 2 php codes added through it. (Enabled in it)
Should I keep the plugin active all the time?

[Ying]

Yes, you’ll need to keep the plugin activate all the time as long as you need the PHP snippet.

[Adarsha]

Alright, thank you 🙂

[Ying]

No problem 🙂
