Can I use a contextual filter to remove content? So I have this view that searches for content (articles, blogs, etc.) associated with a particular author name. Is there a way with this that I can pass a contextual filter of taxonomy terms that would filter out content?
So let's say we have a couple articles tagged with &quot;love&quot;, and &quot;questions&quot; but I have one article also tagged with &quot;talk&quot;. Is there a way I can pass that term &quot;talk&quot; as a contextual filter (or filter criteria) to block it from showing up in the list? Essentially I'm hoping there is something like &quot;Content: Does not have taxonomy term ID&quot; or something like that.
Regular Filter
You can add the regular Filter for the Taxonomy term Entity Reference field, select the Is none of under Operator, and then click to select &quot;talk&quot; from the terms list.
Contextual filter
You can also use the Exclude option in the Contextual filter for the ER field. I would use this option only if I needed the filter to be Contextual for some reason, if I needed options that come with it, otherwise just use the regular filter.

Add the Contextual filter for your Taxonomy term Entity Reference field, and configure it with these options:
When the filter value is NOT available
Provide default value
Fixed
[Taxonomy term ID for &quot;talk&quot;]
When the filter value IS available or a default is provided
Specify validation criteria
Taxonomy term ID
[Your Vocabulary]
More
Exclude

Check your results to see if the content tagged with &quot;talk&quot; is removed.
Enter all into Views Preview field to bypass the Contextual and check if the &quot;talk&quot; nodes come back (be careful if you have more than one Contextual filter, you may need to provide more than one argument for Views to show results).
