Edit a Query Loop block in the block editor. 2. In the sidebar, enable **Make posts unique on page**. 3. Enable the same option on any other Query Loops that should respect prior results. 4. On the front end, each enabled loop excludes post IDs already rendered by previous enabled loops. #### Features * Extends the core Query Loop block — no custom block or variation required. * Uses official hooks: `query_loop_block_query_vars` and `render_block`. * No extra database queries; only adjusts existing query arguments. * Per-request in-memory registry (no transients or options). * Compatible with Query Loop variations such as Advanced Query Loop. #### Requirements * WordPress 6.7 or later * PHP 7.4 or later ## Screenshots [⌊The "Make posts unique on page" toggle in the Query Loop block sidebar.⌉⌊The " Make posts unique on page" toggle in the Query Loop block sidebar.⌉[ The “Make posts unique on page” toggle in the Query Loop block sidebar. ## Installation 1. Upload the `silvaitamar-duplicate-post-exclusion-query-loop` folder to `/wp-content/ plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Edit a Query Loop block and enable **Make posts unique on page** in the block sidebar. ## FAQ ### Do I need a separate block? No. The plugin extends the native `core/query` block only. ### Does this affect the editor preview? No. Cross-loop exclusion runs on the front end only. The editor preview uses the REST API and does not simulate exclusion between multiple loops on the same page. ### Do Query Loops without the option participate? No. Only loops with **Make posts unique on page** enabled register and exclude posts. ### Does this work with Advanced Query Loop or other Query Loop variations? Yes. Variations register on the native `core/query` block. This plugin extends the same block and uses official render hooks, so it works alongside extensions like Advanced Query Loop. ### Does it work with “Inherit query from template”? Partially. A Query Loop set to inherit the template query renders from the global query and does not pass through the `query_loop_block_query_vars` filter. Such an inherited loop still registers the posts it shows, so a later custom loop will exclude them. However, exclusion is not applied to the inherited loop itself (it will not hide posts shown by an earlier loop). Full support for inherited queries is planned for a future release. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Silvaitamar Duplicate Post Exclusion for Query Loop” is open source software.
