This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View that lists posts. I have two Query Filters applied to the View:
- Taxonomy filter, set by the current post
- Post ID filter, set to include only posts passed in to the View using a shortcode attribute "ids"
However, the current post always appears in the results. I would like to show only other posts in this View.
Solution:
Modify the post ID filter to exclude posts by ID, and pass the current post's ID into the View using the shortcode attribute "ids":
<div class="col-sm-8">[wpv-view name="related-posts-for-featured-view" ids="[wpv-post-id]"]</div>

I created a view to show related posts based on category. Occasionally it shows the post in its own related list. I thought I could filter it out with a Post ID filter, but it doesn't seem to be working. Screen shot attached of what I did that doesn't seem to be working. Refresh this page enough times and you'll see a post related to itself:
hidden link
Good catch. I change it to exclude but it still is showing the posts as related to themselves. Screen shot of updated filter attached. The view is actually nested inside another view. This is how it's integrated into the loop template in the other view:
<div class="row featuredperson">
<div class="col-sm-4"><a href="[wpv-post-url]">[wpv-post-featured-image size="custom" width="300" height="300" crop="true"]</a></div>
<div class="col-sm-8"><h1>Featured: [wpv-post-link]</h1>
<h4 class="introexcerpt">[types field='introduction' output='raw'][/types] <a href="[wpv-post-url]">Learn more →</a></h4>
</div>
</div><div class="row featuredrelate">
<div class="col-sm-4"><p>[wpv-post-title] is part of the following focus areas: [wpv-post-taxonomy type="category"]</p>
<p>Explore these related people, projects, and resources in the same fields:</p></div>
<div class="col-sm-8">[wpv-view name="related-posts-for-featured-view"]</div>
</div>
And this is how that view is integrated into the page template:
[wpv-view name="featured-post-with-connections"]
