    Hi, i’m using the Top 10 plugin to display the most popular ads on ClassiPress and it works perfect for me.
    ClassiPress uses custom taxonomies to manage ad categories and i would like to know if it’s possible to exclude some ad categories from appearing in the top posts list.

    At the moment i’m using the meta-box to exclude manually the posts that i want to hide from the list, but i would like to automate this process!

    Some info:
    Website: https://mercatinoludico.it
    Plugin version: 2.2.4
    Wordpress version: 4.3.1

    Thank you!

    The exclude categories currently doesn’t work with custom taxonomies. It’s one of the important ones that I have planned, but have not been able to get it to work perfectly using the Settings interface yet.

    It is however possible to implement these via addon functions. Are you using the widget the shortcode?

    Please see the code that is used currently.
    https://github.com/WebberZone/top-10/blob/master/includes/modules/taxonomies.php

    You can use the similar set of functions (new names), but replace:
    excat_ with extax_

    and replace

    $terms = $tptn_settings['exclude_categories']
    with
    $terms = '10,20,30'

    Note that these need to the term_taxonomy_id and not the term_id. I’ve noticed that term_id doesn’t always work particularly with older blogs. Unfortunately, this isn’t directly available so might need some database checking.

    I tried that way but it didn’t work, i think i made it in a wrong way.
    btw for now i’m fine using the meta box!

    Thank you
