Good morning, I hope you had a good sleep! 😉
The button shortcode can receive additional parameters through “params”. The old format (…=>…) stopped working in the widgets, so I had to change it.
In order to exclude posts, the following should work: (using exclude with post IDs)
[redirect_to_post_button redirect_to="latest" params="exclude=1,2,3"]
Good morning, could have been longer, thanks! Firstly want to thank you for your time in helping! I have updated the plugin, pasted an exact copy (post numbers differ) of your shortcode suggestion, added rule to Cloudflare, changed cache settings on Cloudflare, un-ticked Remove query strings from static resources in Autoptimize and have tried every possible combination of said settings. I can’t get her to work. The basic shortcode still works fine but adding the params only redirects to the same post over and over.
That shortcode is supposed to redirect to the most recent post (excluding those IDs that you added). What exactly do you want to achieve? If you want a random post, you need
[redirect_to_post_button redirect_to="random" params="exclude=1,2,3"]
