[Resolved] How to show all posts except logged in authors in a view

I have a list of my posts (The logged in user) on a page. Below that I want to add a list of all other posts minus those posts. How do I do this?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To exclude the current author posts from the result you can use the view's filter hook: wpv_filter_query

You can create a view to to display your desired post type and format the loop output as required and then add the following code to the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/#adding-custom-php-code-using-toolset

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'func_remove_currnet_author_posts', 10, 3);
function func_remove_currnet_author_posts( $query_args ,$view_settings, $view_id ) {
    global $current_user; 
   
    if ( in_array($view_id, array( 99999) ) ) {
       
            
      $current_author_posts = new WP_Query( 
                        array(
                            'post_type' => array('student'),
                            'posts_per_page' => -1,
                            'author__not_in'=>array($current_user->ID),
                            'fields'=>"ids"
                             
                ));
       $current_author_found_posts = $current_author_posts ->posts;
         
       $query_args['post__not_in'] = $current_author_found_posts ;
       
    }
     
    return $query_args;
}

Where:
- replace 99999 with your original view ID
- Replace 'student' with your original post type slug

Hi Minesh,

Thank you for the quick response. However, that doesn't do anything. The posts of the logged in author are sill displayed in the view.

Can you please share admin access details and problem URL where you added your view to display non author posts.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Sorry I deleted the post as I gave the wrong details. Can you send another private message request please?

Sorry I deleted the post as I gave the wrong details. Can you send another private message request please? I am writing this again as it looks like our wires might have become crossed.

Hi Minesh,

The requirements changed and the user wanted a list of authors with their posts so I was able to fix the duplicate issue by using the option to not display the current logged in user in that view.

Thank you for your help on this.
