In reply to: Take pages out of SearchFound a great tutorial for excluding pages from search results here.
The following function just needs adding to your theme’s functions.php file (create one if it doesn’t exist).
<?php function mySearchFilter($query) { if ($query->is_search) { $query->set('post_type', 'post'); } return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts','mySearchFilter'); ?>
Should be possible to adapt to exclude selected posts also but I’m a novice too and haven’t managed to figure it out yet.
I’d be very interested to know how to combine the page exclude function above with the ability to exclude posts by tag. I’m guessing there’s a simple solution?

In reply to: query_posts and exclude tagThis worked a treat: https://www.jepson.no/how-to-exclude-specific-tag-from-query_posts/
get_var("SELECT term_ID FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE name='featured'"); $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $args=array( 'tag__not_in' => array($tag), 'paged'=>$paged, ); query_posts($args); # ?>
I dropped the first line:
get_var("SELECT term_ID FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE name='featured'");
Just pasted everything from “$paged” into the desired page above
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
Replace “$tag” with the tag ID number.
