I have a template where there is a main latest featured post (tagged as featured), and then 8 more below it.
On the homepage, i was able to query for the latest featured post, and then pass its id to a function in the pre_get_posts
wordpress filter. it works great there
function mh_exclude_featured_query( $query ) {
if(is_home()){
if ( $query->is_home() ) {
$feat = get_featured_post();
$query->query_vars['post__not_in'] = array($feat->ID);
}
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'mh_exclude_featured_query' );
but i'm also trying to do the same thing in the category.php, where i would show the latest post tagged as featured from that category. and then the remaining posts below with the featured post excluded.
Unfortnately, when i try the same method as above by using the pre_get_posts
filter, i get stuck in an infinite loop and run out of memory.
if($query->is_category() && $query->is_main_query()){
$cur_cat_id = get_cat_id( single_cat_title("",false) );
$feat = get_featured_post($cur_cat_id);
$query->query_vars['post__not_in'] = array($feat->ID);
}
not sure what i'm doing differently that leads to a memory exhaustion. the category.php and index.php are near identical in their structure.

echo 'Your Code Here';
}?>

use the pre_get_posts
filter:
<?php
function excludePostId($query) {
$postIds = array(
24, 10
);
if (is_category() && is_main_query()) {
set_query_var('post__not_in', $postIds);
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'excludePostId');
is_category()
will accept a category slug or ID. You can limit which categories the post will be excluded from.
