    Hi,

    I have a custom post type of artists which pulls in my custom fields for that artist. At the bottom of each artist page I have the results showing all artists. What I would is for it to show artists apart from the one you are currently viewing.

    So, you are viewing artist A and at the bottom of the page is the results for all artists excluding artist A.

    Is this something that is easily achievable?

    Thanks

    This thread starts the answer:

    https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/is-there-a-way-to-exclude-the-the-current-post-id/

    Your code you would have to get the current post id (using the get_the_ID() function)

    And then add a post__not_in argument to the arguments.

    I do not have a code snippet for you though.

    Hi,

    Below is the code snippet I have used but it doesn’t seem to be working. I get ‘No results found’. Can you see anything obviously wrong with it?

    function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {

	//if search form ID = 264, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==264) {
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		// $query_args['somearg'] = 'newvalue';
		$postid = get_the_ID();
		$query_args = array(
			'post_type' => 'artist',
			'post__not_in' => $postid,
		);
	}

	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

    Hi

    Would it not be:

    function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {

	//if search form ID = 264, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==264) {
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		// $query_args['somearg'] = 'newvalue';
		$postid = get_the_ID();
		$query_args['post__not_in'] = $postid
	}

	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

    Sadly that hasn’t worked.

    I am using a custom post type called artist though so do I not need to specify that too?

    Thanks

    Not if you have already specified that in the search form setup. You might have to do this:

    function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {

	//if search form ID = 264, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==264) {
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		// $query_args['somearg'] = 'newvalue';
		global $post;
		$postid = $post->ID ;
		$query_args['post__not_in'] = $postid
	}

	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

    Hi Trevor,

    I have specified the post type in the search form setup but sadly the code didn’t work.

    I am showing the results using a shortcode, would that make any difference?

    Thanks

    Hi Dan

    There appears to be a small typo in the code Trevor supplied, post__not_in needs to be an array – 

    function filter_post__not_in( $query_args, $sfid ) {

	//if search form ID = 264, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==264) {
		global $post;
		$postid = $post->ID ;
		$query_args['post__not_in'] = array($postid);
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_post__not_in', 20, 2 );

    Thanks

    Hi Ross,

    Thank you for this, it worked straight away.
