Query Block: add ability to exclude taxonomies #53485

Open cuemarie opened 1 year ago

cuemarie commented 1 year ago

What problem does this address?

In order to exclude a particular category or tag from the Query Loop block, one must manually add all other categories/tags to the block, leaving the "excluded" option out. This is time consuming and laborious, and would be a better experience to have the option to exclude by taxonomy as well as include.

What is your proposed solution?

Adding an 'exclude' option in the Options menu of the Block Settings > Filters modal could add this feature without adding more UI to the default interface.

+1 My current use case is two separate query loops on my homepage: One for just a single category (weekly updates), and one for everything except that single category.

+1 where are we at with this? this is a huge missing feature in the query block and I can't seem to find a workaround function that will target the query loop to solve this in the interim.

Heavy +1! I'm building a theme for my blog based on a short/long-form content distinction using categories and it's cumbersome to have to list all categories except one when I need to filter out a specific type of content.

+1 Just trying to do this myself and couldn't find an 'exclude' in the taxonomy settings. Feels like a feature that should be added / addressed alongside with this open issue: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/58420

Huge +1! This would be very helpful for a use case that I'm currently working on: a site where we need a certain set of blog posts to live in one category to serve a different audience than the audience for the main blog. Having the ability to exclude posts in that category from the main query loop would make this a lot easier and more intuitive to manage.

+1. I'm currently working on my blog, and I was hoping I could exclude a category from the main content view and treat it like a "microblogging" on the sidebar. I have been moving away from social media and treating my blog as a one-place-for-all. Having the ability to exclude taxonomies would be really helpful.

Huge +1. I have a column for featured articles and another for all articles BUT featured ones. I think it's actually quite a common use case that should be manage by core features.

+1 to this. Without this ability you can't even always add all other categories because a post might be in more than 1 category, where one is excluded and one is included. Then the post would still be included.
