Title: cannot exclude element Last modified: February 20, 2022 --- # cannot exclude element * Resolved [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/) * (@erikalleman) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/) * Hi there, * I am unable to exclude classes. * Here is my HTML: * > [flameshot_screenshot](https://imgur.com/K5gfOgi) * and here are my settings: * > [flameshot_screenshot](https://imgur.com/KS6wiA9) * But links are excluded at the HTML elements as well, and that post entry title is a link, so widows shouldn’t be prevented on that link. * I have cleared the wp-Typography plugin cache, my grid cache, and all my other caches, CDN, etc… * Am I specifying something wrong in my settings? - This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/).

[Exclusion will not work for HTML in theme templates](https://code.mundschenk.at/wp-typography/frequently-asked-questions/). That is a technical limitation of how WordPress filter hooks work. * Thread Starter [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/) * (@erikalleman) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/#post-15384949) * Could you explain where should the class or element be if not in theme templates in order to be able to exclude it? * Thread Starter [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/) * (@erikalleman) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/#post-15384954) * It seems that all link elements are already excluded in the settings. Since my title is a link, and that fact is not related to templates, why it won’t be excluded? - This reply was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/#post-15384986) * Your post content almost certainly contains HTML elements, and your titles might. As stated in the FAQ, the “ignore” settings only work on elements/classes that are part of the content (both post titles and post content proper count as “content”, i.e. what’s in the database and not in PHP files). * Why do you believe your title to be a link “unrelated to templates”? * Thread Starter [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/) * (@erikalleman) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/#post-15385002) * I understand now. I thought wp-Typography detects links universally by some other mechanism than looking in “the content”, because exclusion of links is excluded by default at the elements exclusion. It seems that it means only links in “the content”. If I add a span via the_title hook to all post titles, will that be in the content? Could you recommend a way to check what is actually in the content? Should I look in the database? I want to check if there are any elements or classes included by default in the wp post title… Thanks! - This reply was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/#post-15385011) * There are not, unless you put them there when you were writing the post.
