Hi simonghost,

Thanks for reaching to us.

Please try to add the code below in the functions.php file in your child theme.

function woodmart_get_related_posts_args( $post_id ) {
	$cats = get_the_category();
	$args = array();
	if ( $cats ) {
		$args = array(
			'cat'               => $cats[0]->term_id,
			'post__not_in'          => array( $post_id ),
			'showposts'             => 12,
			'ignore_sticky_posts'   => 1
		);
	}
	return $args;
}

Hi,

It is also possible through a snippet to exclude two categoryies from the blog page?

Thanks

Hi simonghost,

Thanks for your patience.

The theme doesn’t have a way of excluding categories from the Blog page, but there are some plugins out there that should be able to do this for you.

Here are fews:
