Filter News Webpart to not display certain posts
I know that you can filter news items you want to display in a web part, but is there a way to set a filter so that it doesn't display a news item? I am creating two news Web parts on the same com...
The simplest way to get this outcome would be to add a Column to your Site Pages library called something like News Type. That way, you don't have to rely on someone creating a Title with a specific term. You can create a page template for an article of this type where the News Type is pre-set to the topic that you want so as long as that template is used, the author does not even have to tag the page. Then, you can filter for News Type = [Topic]. You can filter for one or more Topics in different web parts to get the same outcome you are trying to get to - but using a filter. One web part filters for Topic = Special Topic. The other filters for either all the other topics or just a page tagged with News Type = News.
