Post grid – make title p and exclude current post

Hey @lauratraveler ,

Thank you for reaching us out.
Below is the explanation to your queries:

1) Currently, we don’t have such an option. I will ask my team to make it possible for you.

2) Yes, you can do that using UAG filter – https://www.ultimategutenberg.com/docs/filters-actions-for-post/#uagb_post_query_args_{post_block_type}

You need to add this to your functins.php file –

function filter_post_query( $query_args, $attributes) {
    // Modify $query_args values.
    $query_args['post__not_in'] = get_the_ID();
    return $query_args;
} 
add_filter( 'uagb_post_query_args_grid', 'filter_post_query', 10, 2 );

I hope that helps you.

Thank you, @brainstormteam

So I placed the function you gave me in the functions.php file but then the whole block doesn’t show.

Basically I was trying to use the Post Grid to display related posts at the end of an article and I wanted to exclude the post that a user is currently reading from the Post Grid.

Say someone is reading a post and the post has tag ‘A’. In the Post Grid at the end of the article, I want to display other related posts that belong to tag ‘A’. But the post the user is currently reading will most likely show in the Post Grid, especially if the tag doesn’t have many articles. What I wanted to do is not display the post that the user is currently reading in the Post Grid. Is this possible?

PS: If I change [‘post__not_in’] to [‘post_not_in’] (remove the double underscore) the block shows again but there’s no difference between using the function and not using it at all and the current post is still displayed.

Hello, for those who arrived here from Google or other search, the following snippet modification worked for me:

/**
 * Filter out current page on UAG Post Grid
 */
function filter_post_query( $query_args, $attributes) {
    // Modify $query_args values.
    $query_args['post__not_in'][] = get_the_ID();
    return $query_args;
	print_r($query_args);
} 
add_filter( 'uagb_post_query_args_grid', 'filter_post_query', 10, 2 );

According to the debug message, $post__not_in looks for an array, so I added [] after $query_args['post__not_in']. With this addition, the Post Grid displays the expected items.

Hey @webstorybuilder ,

+1 to the solution you provided.
That indeed should work.

Thanks, @webstorybuilder. That worked!

FYI, just realized that a bit of debugging code was still in the snippet that I posted. Please remove the print_r.

Thank you @webstorybuilder ??

Btw, @webstorybuilder does filtering the posts by category or tags (hence inheriting the category of the current post) use the same function as above but with wrapping the

$query_args['post__not_in'][] = get_the_ID();
return $query_args;

into an if? I’ve been struggling to figure this out for over a week but no luck. Thanks!
