Hello Mike, thanks for the idea with the filter, works fine! Example: add_filter('list_terms_exclusions','my_list_terms_exclusions'); function my_list_terms_exclusions($args) { $where = " AND t.slug NOT IN ('2005','2006','2007','2008')"; //$where = " AND t.slug not like ('eid-%-%-2008')"; //$where = " "; return $where; }
