Exclude current post

paoloperliti

Great plugin, thank you for your precious work!

I have a question for you.

I installed the plugin(version 0.18.3) to include
at the bottom of a post a list of 'similar' posts (that is, posts that
have same category of the one currently showed).

I used the following shortcode:

[catlist id=XX numberposts=5]

where XX=is the category of the current post (eg. 29).

The result is the list of 'similar' posts, but that list includes the current one too.

So I tried this one:

[catlist id=XX numberposts=5 excludeposts=<ID_OF_CURRENT_POST>]

but I don't know how to set the value <ID_OF_CURRENT_POST> at runtime.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey, had the same problem as you this morning.

This is how i solved it:

You will need to install+activate the plugin, which enables you to include php inside html.

I used the following:

PHP Execution 1.0.0

(it is like on the first page if you search for "php" in plugins)

when this is done you can just include this code:

[catlist id=(whatever) excludeposts=<?php the_ID(); ?>]

<?php the_ID(); ?>

is an id of the current post.

Hope this helped.

Howdy, Stranger!
