Exclude, pass over if ACF checkbox is checked (or 1)

  • For some reason I can’t offset posts that have WP’s native sticky option checked using Custom Content Shortcode. So, no big deal. I created a checkbox in ACF with a similar purpose and now I can have them offset. [loop field=stick_post value=1]

    Problem is I have another loop that displays posts from the same category and I want to exclude all posts where stick_post has been checked.

    Instead of excluding and skipping over these sticky posts entirely, it’s just printing out 2 columns worth of content instead of 3.

    [raw]
[loop type=post category=features count=3 orderby=rand]
[if field=stick_post value=1][else]
<div class="col-md-4">
[field image image_class="img-square" size="thumbnail"]
</div>
[/if]
[/loop]
[/raw]

    Hi,

    I think I found where the issue is: the loop gets 3 posts (some with stick_post=1) and the if statement filters them out, resulting in less than 3.

    It should work better to combine the query: [loop type=post category=features count=3 orderby=rand field=stick_post value=1 compare=not]

    The inside of the loop can be without the if: <div>..</div>.

    This way, the loop should count 3 posts with the checkbox unchecked.
