# exclude shortcode not working

 * Exclude shortcode doesn’t seem to work. I tried using “exclude_terms” as well
   as “exclude”.
 * Here is my shortcode, my goal is to include all tag groups EXCEPT tag groups 
   15 and 16.
 * [tag_groups_cloud smallest=14 largest=28 exclude_terms=15,16]
 * The result displays all tag groups including 15 and 16 which is unexpected.
 * Thanks

 * For groups there is no “exclude”, only “include”, see: [https://documentation.chattymango.com/documentation/tag-groups-premium/tabbed-tag-cloud/tabbed-tag-cloud-parameters/#include](https://documentation.chattymango.com/documentation/tag-groups-premium/tabbed-tag-cloud/tabbed-tag-cloud-parameters/#include)
 * “exclude_terms” only works for _tags_. (“Term” is the WordPress name for things
   like tags, categories, product_tags and so on.)
