Hello,
Hope this is still relevant to some. beckibb2 you were on a right track.
Just add to your args array: ‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID)
So it’ll look like:
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => $number,
'order' => $order,
'orderby' => $orderby,
'category__in' => $cats,
'tag__in' => $tags,
'post_type' => $types,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID)
);
