Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to add a filter to a View so that any posts with the same author as the logged in author are excluded.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-author/?utm_source=viewsplugin&utm_campaign=views&utm_medium=edit-view-author-filter&utm_term=Learn%20about%20filtering%20by%20Post%20Author

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

I can select posts where "Post author is the same as the logged in user" but what I need is to filter out posts where this is the case.

ie. How can I select posts where "Post author is NOT the same as the logged in user"?

I thought I might be able to get at the select code and change an = to ne.

Thanks
Tony

PS I meant to add - my current solution is to modify the display template with:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info="id"]' eq '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID"]' )" evaluate="false"]
[wpv-post-link]<br />
[/wpv-conditional]

Hi Tony,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Your current solution is the way to do it, unless you want to use a php hook, then this should be able to achieve the same results.

Thanks,
Shane

Kind regards
