exclude tag from query

Resolved

(@jwoodcreative)

I’m trying to exclude a tag from a query.

I have this:

<?php
$events_query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'event',
    'tag__not_in'=> array(196),
    'orderby'=> 'eventstart',
    'order'=>'DESC'
));

while ( $events_query->have_posts() ) : $events_query->the_post();
?>

...

<?php
wp_reset_postdata();
endwhile;
?>

But it’s not excluding the posts within tag ID 196. What am I doing wrong..?

tag__not_in is for post tags, you’ll need to use a tax_query with the ‘event-tag’ taxonomy to achieve this.

Wow, fast response! Thanks. Got it working with this:

$events_query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'event',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'event-tag',
            'field'    => 'term_id',
            'terms'    => '196',
            'operator' => 'NOT IN',
        ),
    ),
    'orderby'=> 'eventstart',
    'order'=>'DESC'
));
