[Plugin: Genesis Featured Widget Amplified] Exclude Posts by Category ID not working?

What do you have it set to show in the terms and taxonomies drop down?

Sorry Nick… I’ve tried it with All Terms & Taxonomies and All Categories. Do I need to find the category ID instead of using the category names?

yes, you must use the ID not the names.

How do I find the ID for categories? I’ve looked but can’t seem to find it. ??

It’s a number, right?

Here is a good article on that

Hi Nick, I’m having the same issue where I can’t exclude any category IDs from the widget. I’m using the cat ID numbers, and have selected “All Categories”. This even seemed to be working a week or two ago, but suddenly stopped working. I’ve tried playing around with the settings but haven’t been able to find a combination of settings that works.

Here’s a screenshot of the settings in case it helps:

Please test “all terms and taxonomies”

Hi Nick, I’ve gone ahead and tried that setting and I still get the same result. It’s odd because I’m not using a cache plugin, and swear this exclusion setting was working just two weeks ago.

Hi Nick,

Any thoughts on a solution to this problem. Right now my blog home page is a mess because I can’t filter posts.

Thanks much!

Chris

Sorry, been a bit hectic this week.

It might be something in else affecting the query. Please start by disabling all of your other plugins.
