Following up from this thread: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/remove-cpt-from-categorycategory-slug-page/

This issue still still exists using WP default 2016 theme and all plugins disabled except for WP-types and as this is used to create the CPT

Yes, this is because that code is 99% wrong

Please try:

//exclude Staff from Services loop
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_cpt' );

function exclude_cpt( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_tax('service') ) { //Change the Tax here!!
        $query->set( 'post_type', array('project') ); //Change the Post type here!!
    }
    return $query;
}

Works?

Hey Beda - thanks for the reply.

This problem lies across all my categories - so I have used this code:

if ( $query->is_category() ) {

I've also tried is_archive() and is_tax() but still no luck.

If I reverse my code and only request the CPT to be listed - it works and only the cpt is displayed.

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_cpt' );
function exclude_cpt( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_category() ) {
		if( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
			$query->set('post_type',array('cpt'));
		}
    return $query;
}
}

Well, since this is Custom PHP Code, and the goal can be easily achieved with Toolset, I can not debug or suggest to go ahead with this Custom PHP Code which would need to be debugged.

Instead, I must suggest Toolset featured approaches as per our Support policy.

1. Create a new View WordPress Archive for the taxonomy "Categories"

2. In the Views Loop output whatever you want, conditionally:
As example, this below will output only Posts of Type "Post", in any term of the Taxonomy "Category":

 [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'post' )"][wpv-post-title][/wpv-conditional]

3. This works great, I tested it locally and is the way we suggest to do it, since Toolset is a software to create websites with no PHP Code.
I set up the conditional using the Conditional Output GUI.

This is the DOC for this:

Thank you

Ah... perfect - thanks Beda... I think I set off on the wrong foot with all the posts about custom PHP code - I didn't even think to look at toolset 🙂

Thanks again
