But really, you are better off disabling it completely.

'"]' ); } } } return $output; } ); ``` * Vcex is my theme prefix. * Then I tried something like this to limit adding the class to the title in my related posts (that would be the goal – but they are the same post type as the posts where I do want to widowing): * ``` function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) { return "$title"; } $referer = wp_get_referer(); $post_id = wp_doing_ajax() ? url_to_postid( $referer ) : $post->ID; $related = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'related_post_ids', true ); if (! is_admin() ) { if ( empty( $related ) ) { add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 ); } } ``` * But this also didn’t work. * I have also tried this to exclude the current post: * ``` function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) { return "$title"; } global $wp_query; $exclude = $wp_query->post->ID; if( $exclude != get_the_ID() ) { add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 ); } ``` * But this code will not add the class anywhere. - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/). * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/page/3/#post-15471422) * Hi [@erikalleman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/), depending on your exact understanding of “the current post”, yes there are ways to achieve that, but this is all going way beyond wp-Typography support questions. Therefore, I’d ask you to direct your questions to the appropriate fora on this site (and perhaps read a few tutorials on WordPress programming concepts beforehand). * Thread Starter [berry metal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/) * (@erikalleman) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-exclude-element/page/3/#post-15473071) * I will post to the other forums.
