Exclude custom post type category from homepage

  • Hi all,

    I am using a theme called Recital.

    It uses the following custom post_type, category and taxonomy to define a portfolio homepage layout:

    post_type=”st_project”
    category=”st_category”
    tag=”st_tag”

    The URL is something like this:
    /wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=st_category&tag_ID=115&post_type=st_project…

    I am trying to exclude ‘wastelands’ / the tag_ID ‘115’ from showing on the homepage. I have been trying the following code added to the functions.php but it is not working.

    Please help…

    [ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

    
<?php

function exclude_cat( $query ) {
	if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		if ( is_post_type( 'st_project' ) ) {
			$tax_query = $query->get( 'tax_query' ) ?: array();

			$tax_query[] = array(
				'taxonomy' => 'st_category',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => 'wastelands',
				'operator' => 'NOT IN',
			);

			$query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
		}
	}

	return $query;
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','exclude_cat');

?>

  • You might try:

    

//If on the front page
if ( is_front_page() ) {
	
	echo'<h2>Execute front page code here</h2>';
    }
}

// or on the home page
if ( is_home() ) {
	
	echo'<h2>Execute home page code here</h2>';
    }
}

//or use both

if ( is_home() && is_front_page() ) {
	
	echo'<h2>Execute front/home page code here</h2>';
    }
}
