# Feature Request: Exclude Post(s)

 * I used the widget to display the 5 most popular posts. However, one of them was
   sort of an off-topic post from a while ago that I am trying to NOT have as a 
   most popular post. Adding a list of the top 5 posts encourages people to click
   those and therefore make/keep them as the most popular. To this point, I’d like
   to request excluding posts from showing up in the widget. For example: show the
   top 5 posts excluding post ID 722 and 820 –> which would really be pulling the
   top 7 posts and excluding post 722 and post 820.
 * I hope that makes sense.
 * Thanks.

 * Your request makes sense and is valid. I’ll look into implementing this in the
   coming patches. Do you think having a check box for each post (say in the “Quick
   Edit” or sidebar of a post) that would mark the post OK to list in the widget
   is a viable solution?

 * Cool. Thanks.
 * Sounds good to me for site-wide control. However, implementing two text boxes
   per widget would be a good override too because maybe I want Widget1 to display
   content only to logged-in users, well I might want the 5 most popular posts of
   2,100,824,844,3822,2909,294,110,2983 and exclude none. Or I might want the top
   5 posts excluding 1,11,17.
 * Also, per-widget ability to include/exclude category-specific, tag-specific, 
   etc. Sort of like [Ultimate Tag Cloud Widget](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tag-cloud-widget/screenshots/).
 * Hope that feedback helps make it more robust/flexible.
 * Thanks!
