Filtering posts in the “SiteOrigin Post Carousel” widget

Hi,

I’ve tried filtering the post output in the “SiteOrigin Post Carousel” widget, just like I did in the “SiteOrigin Blog” widget.

However, in this case, when I use the additional field in the widget’s Post Query settings, the post filtering doesn’t occur when using the tag != “Portfolio”.

It should exclude posts with the “Portfolio” tag, but it displays all of them.

Any suggestions?

Best regards.

    Hi José,

    Thanks for getting in touch. I’ve run a few tests, and I can’t seem to get the tags parameter working with any of our widgets when using the slug. I can however get it working when using the tag id and tag__not_in so I recommend giving that a try. Please navigate to PostsTagsand then find the Portfolio tag. Open it and then note the Tag ID in the address bar:

    wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=post_tag&tag_ID=430&post_type=post

    (430 is an example, it will be different for you)

    Open the SiteOrigin Post Carousel you wish to exclude this tag. Go down to the Additional field and set it to:

    tag__not_in=430

    Change 430 with the tag id you saw in the address bar, and then save. How does that look?

    Kind regards,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    It works.

    (Also, with the SiteOrigin Blog widget and portfolio template, it works by using tag=”Porfolio” in the additional field in the “Post View” section to display only posts with the portfolio tag.)

    Best regards.
