Exclude Custom Post Types

[seamtv]

Hi there, love the plugin.

Just have some nigglies…

There’s no way to exclude custom post types and this creates a lot of problems when I use them. For instance, I use Templetera, which allows me to create site elements that can be reused in many places (in effect, templates). To do this, it uses a custom post type. However, this means that multiple WTI Like voting images sometimes appear all over my pages!
I have tried to exclude the post ids of those templates, but, as you can imagine it can become a losing battle over time.
It would be great if you had a checkbox to enable me to exclude custom post types as a whole!
Thanks.

As a quick fix, you can possibly add a line of code which will prevent the like/unlike buttons being rendered. Let’s say you want to exclude type1 post type.

– Open the file wti_like_post_site.php in a text editor.
– Search for the function GetWtiLikePost.
– Just before this line $ip = WtiGetRealIpAddress();, add the following code

// Exclude depending on post type
$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
$excluded_types = array('type1');

if ( in_array( $post_type, $excluded_types ) ) {
	return;
}

Note:
– If you want to exclude more than 1 post type such as type1 and type2, you need to use $excluded_types = array('type1', 'type2'); in the above code.

Do let us know if this worked or not.

Thanks
