exclusions from random rotation

Posted in: Newspaper

In order to showcase evergreen content we show past posts containing webinars, podcasts and articles in random rotation prominently on the home page. Over the months or years, some of this content will become outdated or superseded. I don’t want to cull these posts from the site because some have good inbound links, but is there a way I could easily create an attribute that would cause certain posts to be skipped from selection in random rotation?
Thank you.

Hello!

Please provide more information about what you need to achieve, screenshots and your website link in order to help you efficiently.

A solution for sending a screenshot is this:

After making the screenshot, you will have a link, paste it here.

Thank you!

The website is WeTeachSuccess.org.
Please observe the four pieces of Featured Content at the top of the page. These are set to rotate at random, the content being drawn from the 200 different posts on the site. Imagine that a particular webinar about applying for COVID relief is still getting page views but because there is newer content on this topic, I no longer want to promote this particular post. I don’t want to delete the post from it’s category section. Can a flag be created for posts that would cause a post to be skipped from random rotation?
I hope this elaboration helps.
Thank you.

Hello!

A solution for this could be the settings from a flex block: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ for exclusions, please check: https://www.screencast.com/t/ujljPdRYvp
