GK News Show Pro, avoiding duplicate posts

**GK User** Mon Feb 10, 2014 9:37 pm

Hi - fantastic theme, thank you!

I am using the GK News Show Pro as a widget in the sidebar where single posts are shown.
However, when the single post comes from the same category as being shown in GK News Show Pro, the single post and one of the widget's posts are duplicated.

See attached.

Is there any way to avoid this duplication?
I am a coder, so happy to make manual changes to the widget code is need be.

Many thanks,
Simon

You would need to modify widgets database query by excluding current post. I think using post_id is the only available method. Please check this documentation:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/ques ... m-wp-query
focusing on 'post__not_in' argument.

The file to edit is this one:
/wp-content/themes/RockWall/gavern/widgets.nsp.php

The only problem might be in accessing current post ID inside widgets code.

Ok, thanks - so long as I know it's a coding issue.

And sadly not easy one.
If you will be able to make this idea work, please post here what and where you have changed.

I'm also curious if you were able to find a solution for this...
