I changed a parameter in the post carousel to show the pages. Now I want to exclude the pages that I don’t want to show.

This is the shortcode:

[posts_carousel heading="example" post_type="page" category_slug="" order_by="id" order="DESC" limit="10" meta="no" excerpt="yes" excerpt_char_limit="200" exclude_current="yes" width="four columns" scroll_by="4"][/posts_carousel]

How I can do it?
There is a simple way, maybe adding a parameter like exclude=”" or something like that?

Thank you in advance

You would also need to modify the shortcode itself in includes/shortcodes.php – shortcode_posts_carousel method.
Basically the function currently adds to the WP_Query only the current post id to the post__not_in paramter if you passed exclude_current=”yes”. You need to add a new parameter that takes in an array of excluded items Ids, then merge the 2 arrays…
A rather easier way if you are not very good at programming would be to simply put the items you want to show in a category and use the category_slug parameter by passing that new category to it! :)
