Selective display of posts in CPT on archive page

[Dan]

Howdy,
Using a bit of a mashup between Bill Erickson's Portfolio code and Sridhar's take on the same (the exception being I've not used a plugin to create the CPT), I've created a grid layout archive for a custom post type. I now want to hide some of the custom posts from the CPT archive page as their display is not needed.

Is this possible? I ask as I've not been able to track down, or work out, a solution yet.

(Presumably I need to remove the post ID's in a similar fashion to removing page titles on some pages - am I on the right track?)

If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.

What you can do is remove specific posts from the CPT archive page loop http://wpsites.net/web-design/3-ways-to-remove-posts-from-your-home-page-loop/

And change the conditional tag from is_home() to is_post_type_archive(your post type)

That, Brad, is EXACTLY what I wanted to do - thank you so much!

Quick update - just realised need to add an

if(!is_admin()){

conditional unless you want to hide the items in the dashboard too!
