Exclude Pages From Insert/Edit Link List

  • Hi! The Insert/Edit Link list is currently showing published Posts AND Pages and I would like to exclude all Pages from the list so Pages will not be ‘suggested’ (appear) anymore. Does someone know how to do that? Thanks for your help! ??

    Hi mrtom414, no plugin, nothing, only a genuine WP install ??

    When you write a post (not using Gutenberg) you can select some text and click on the Insert/Edit Link icon above the text area. If you click on the Link Option gear icon (right) then a list appears with recent published posts you can add as link. I want to exclude recent published pages to appear in this list. There must be some code to add to the functions.php but I don’t know where to start (I don’t code at all…).

    I hope it helps, thanks!

    Hi, I found this code to exclude pages from WordPress Search, I guess it could work to exclude Pages from the Insert/Edit Link dropdown menu but that’s as far as I can go since I don’t code at all… If this is useful to anyone to help me on that matter. Thank you!

    if (!is_admin()) {
function nopages_search_filter($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','nopages_search_filter');
}

    I’m sorry to post again but I thought maybe the code I copied in my previous post would help someone find a solution to my problem.

    I searched again through the WP Forums and the web but I couldn’t find any suggestion to solve my problem. I hope someone will read this thread and think of something <:)

    Thanks!
