    Hi Support team,

    I've been using the post field to manually select the related posts for new my posts. When the number of posts increase, it's become frustrating to select among hundreds of post.
    I'm looking for a way to exclude certain categories that I don't need.

    Please take a look.
    Thanks,
    Huy

    Hi,

    You can use the setting query_args to filter posts by taxonomy as well. Please read more on the documentation
    https://docs.metabox.io/fields/post/#settings

    Hi,

    Here is an example:

    'fields' => [
    [
        'name'        => 'Select a post',
        'id'          => 'my_post',
        'type'        => 'post',
        'post_type'   => 'post',
        'field_type'  => 'select_advanced',
        'query_args'  => [
            'tax_query' => [
                [
                    'taxonomy' => 'category',
                    'field'    => 'slug',
                    'terms'    => [ 'aciform', 'comedy' ],
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],

],
