I just upgraded to Toolset Views 3.3.4 and the "Don't include current page in query result" checkbox is no longer working. Even when this is checked, it shows the current page in the view. I'm assuming other people are having the same issue. Can you fix this in your next update, please?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I confirm this is a bug introduced on the latest release. I am escalating it to our 2nd Tier and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Please use the following code as a workaround:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'my_exclude_current_post', 99, 3 );

function my_exclude_current_post( $query_args, $view_settings, $views_id  ) {
  global $post;
  
  $my_views = array(18, 19);
  if ( in_array( $views_id, $my_views ) ) {
    $query_args['post__not_in'] = array( absint( $post->ID ) );
  }
  
  return $query_args;
}

Update line 6 with the IDs of your views. If you have doubts, please allow me temporary access to check this closely.

Thanks for the quick response. I have VERY MANY views that this affects, but it's not the end of the world to show the current page, so I may just leave it as is if you think this bug will be fixed fairly soon - in the next release?

Are you able to say that this issue will be fixed in the next release? Please let me know. Thanks so much!

We can't, actually, say when this could be fixed. But, we need to make sure that, at least, we can provide a workaround until this is fixed. I'll be glad to help you implement this fix.

As you can see in this test site hidden link
I have created two views, one with the legacy editor and one with the block editor. I put both views on the page "Homepage" and as you can say the views return the other page on the site and does not return the current page. My views have IDs 18 and 19, and I put the custom code in Toolset->Settings->Custom Code, then I activated it.

I'll get back to you as soon as we have the developers' feedback regarding the bug.

The issue is now escalated to the developers. We'll get back to you as soon as we have a fix or a patch.
