I'm trying to hide posts that have a certain category, but when a post is hidden, it's displaying and empty row. I've tried to move around my conditional statements but it just breaks my logic or page structure.
How do I hide a row ( <div class"row episodes-feed-wrap"> ) in this loop if the category is 'daily-email'?
Here is my code:
<div class="col-md-9" style="padding:0;">
<div class="episodes-feed">
<div class="container-fluid">
<?php $catquery = new WP_Query(array(
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC'
)); ?>
<?php while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>
<?php $backgroundImg = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'large' );?>
<?php
$post_term_objects = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'category' );
$post_terms = [];
foreach ( $post_term_objects as $post_term_object ) {
$post_terms[] = $post_term_object->slug;
}
?>
<div class="row episodes-feed-wrap">
<?php if ( ! in_array( 'stories', $post_terms, false) &! in_array('blog', $post_terms, false) &! in_array('daily-email', $post_terms, false)) : ?>
<div class="col-4 episodes-feed-thumb">

Reset to default 1Just wrap the opening and closing div like this:
<?php if ( ! in_array( 'daily-email', $post_terms, false ) ) : ?>
<div class="row episodes-feed-wrap">
....... all your content and markup ........
</div><!-- /this is your closing row div tag -->
<?php endif ?>
OR if you don't want that category to output at all, change the $args to this:
$catquery = new WP_Query( array(
'orderby' => date,
'order' => 'DESC',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'daily-email',
'operator' => 'NOT IN',
)
),
));
That will remove all the daily-email posts from the loop.
