    The first result when searching “thank you” (https://sffilm.org/search/?_sf_s=thank+you) is https://sffilm.org/cfe-thank-you/, which is Post ID 9446 and is in the “Exclude Post IDs” array. After adding I’ve rebuilt the search and filter cache, cleared the site cache and cookies, but it keeps showing up in the results.

    I see four search forms, but all the forms are set to Shortcode method, and on the results page I do not see our search form, nor our search form results shortcode?

    Hey Trevor, yeah sorry realizing we’ve customized this quite a bit. One thing I think would help, is it possible to access the “Exclude Post IDs” from the global $searchandfilter var?

    You may need to use the post__not_in argument in our query (same method as used for for wp_query) and use this in a function inside your child theme’s functions.php file.

    You would use this filter:

    right I’m wondering if I can get the value of the “exclude post ids” field to be used within that filter?

    You should be able to. I am just wondering, how many posts is this searching, as I see you are using WP Engine as your hots, see here:

    right I realized we were modifying the “post__not_in” query var already for another issue, so just need to be able to append the “exclude post ids” field there. How would I access that sorry?

    If yu are using that elsewhere, it is possibly overwriting our query, hence it wasn’t working. Did you try appending those exclude IDs to your existing use?
