Code Snippet to Unlist a CPT

Hi @heyjoecampbell,

We’re sorry for the delay.

You should be able to do that using a filter in get_option(). Please refer here.

I hope it will help.

Kind regards,

Hi Herman,

Please provide a cut & paste solution that I can use with the Snippets plugin for the CPT “announcements”.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi @heyjoecampbell,

Actually, we don’t provide custom code as it is beyond our support and we usually will let the community takes the part if the query involves custom code.

However, please try the following

function unlist_posts() {
	
	$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'announcements', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
	$array_of_post_type_announcements = [];
	if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
		while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
			$query->the_post();
			$post_id = get_the_ID();
			array_push($array_of_post_type_announcements, $post_id );
		}
	}
	$hidden_posts = update_option( 'unlist_posts', $array_of_post_type_announcements );

	return $hidden_posts;
}
add_action( 'init', 'unlist_posts' );

You need to add the code to your child theme’s functions.php.

I hope it will help.

Kind regards,
Herman ??

Thanks Herman ?? greatly appreciated

Happy New Year ??

One last question – how should I modify the unlist multiple CPTs (announcements, reviews, hobbies)

Try this @heyjoecampbell

function unlist_posts() {
	
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => array( 'announcements', 'reviews', 'hobbies', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
	$array_of_post_type_announcements = [];
	if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
		while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
			$query->the_post();
			$post_id = get_the_ID();
			array_push($array_of_post_type_announcements, $post_id );
		}
	}
	$hidden_posts = update_option( 'unlist_posts', $array_of_post_type_announcements );

	return $hidden_posts;
}
add_action( 'init', 'unlist_posts' );

I hope it helps.

Kind regards,
Herman ??
