Problem:
The user would like to exclude posts assigned to a certain taxonomy term. And also be able to use a filter on the same taxonomy.

Solution:
This will require custom code such as:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'exclude_terms_func', 10, 3 );
function exclude_terms_func($query, $setting, $views_ID)
{
    if($views_ID == 3346) // your view id
    {
        $query['tax_query'][] = array(
            'taxonomy' => 'book-author', // taxonomy name
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array( 'adam', 'adam2016' ), // term slug for exclude
            'operator' => 'NOT IN'
        );
        $query['tax_query']['relation'] = 'AND';
    }
    return $query;
}

Problem: I would like to add some non-Toolset blocks to a post, but the changes I make in the post editor are not reflected on the front-end of the site.

Solution: Check to see if a Content Template is assigned to the post. If so, you may need to make changes in the Content Template instead of the post editor to see those updates on the front-end of the site. The Content Template design overrides the post content in the post editor.
