I am trying to: create a post view that EXCLUDES an author

I know that I can create a view that lists only posts by a single author, but I need to EXCLUDE an author.

I can do that with php, with something like

$query = new WP_Query( 'author=-1' );

Is it possible to do that with Views?

Thanks in advance, Luca

PS: to be precise , I should exclude SOME authors , but it would be a good result also to exclude just a single one.

Hi Emanuel,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

In order to do this you will need to write a custom query filter for views.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
