Exclude category/taxonomy through shortcode

Hello!

Is it possible to exclude a category or taxonomy through the shortcode?
Im having a case where I have multiple search form for multiple page, but where for each form I would like to restrict the results – therefore have some dynamic results instead of having to create a new form each time.

Thanks 😉

I understand what you want, but this is not possible at this time in the way you describe. It might be possible using one of actions/filters in your child theme’s functions.php file, using the WordPress is_page() function to apply your rules differently for each page.

Sorry, I missed the reference to our documentation:

https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/action-filter-reference/#Edit_Query_Arguments

Where you would do something like:

function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
  //if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
  if($sfid==225) {
    $query_args['cat__not_in'] = array(235,236,237);
    // where the 235 etc are the category ID numbers)
  }
  return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );
