Hi!
I use News Pro Theme.
In my Home page, when inserting widgets for Genesis Featured Posts, I always mark "Exclude previously displayed posts". It works fine.
However, I have a problem since I added the widget GENESIS FEATURED TABS.
Right after the Featured Tabs I have a widget with Featured Posts. In this Featured Posts, I check that option to NOT display previously diisplayed posts. But this time the option does not work. So, my readers see the same post featured again, like this:
It's strange. The firts featured post right after the featured tabs should never be the same post.
Please, is there a way to solve this?
Thank you.

If not, you can see how its done in the genesis featured posts widget code.
Hi!
The Tabs widget appears first.
The following widget, Featured Posts, is set to NOT show previously displayed posts, but it's not working.
Does the tabs widget include an option to exclude previously displayed posts?
Hi!
No, it doesn't. But it comes first, so there's no previous post to exclude. Maybe you would suggest to insert it after the other widget.
You could add the Genesis featured posts functionality to exclude previously displayed posts to the tabs widget.
if ( $instance['exclude_displayed'] ) $query_args['post__not_in'] = (array) $_genesis_displayed_ids; $wp_query = new WP_Query( $query_args ); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $_genesis_displayed_ids[] = get_the_ID();
And add the checkbox to the widget.
<p> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'exclude_displayed' ); ?>" type="checkbox" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'exclude_displayed' ); ?>" value="1" <?php checked( $instance['exclude_displayed'] ); ?>/> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'exclude_displayed' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Exclude Previously Displayed Posts?', 'genesis' ); ?></label> </p>
Untested and may require a bit more work.
Thank you for your attention.
The Featured Posts widget comes after the Featured Tabs.
This Featured Posts is already set to NOT show previously displayed posts, but this is not working.
Because the tags widget is excluded from the main loop as well as the custom loop created by the featured posts widget and creates its own new WP_Query which is why i suggest you add that functionality to the plugin.
So the bottom line in my opinion is the featured posts widget works because it includes the exclusion option but the tabs widget doesn't because it doesn't include theta option. Might be wrong!
