Hi @buckdanny

Hmm… Try this, in pre_get_posts grab the value of the relationship field using get_field(...). get_field(...) will return an array of the selected posts. Loop through this array and create your meta_query $args dynamically. Then in your meta_query, use the “NOT LIKE” compare instead of the “LIKE” compare so that the query can exclude the selected posts.

I’ve never tried this but I think it should work. Give it a try and let me know how it goes 🙂
