Silvaitamar Duplicate Post Exclusion for Query Loop

Silvaitamar Duplicate Post Exclusion for Query Loop adds a toggle to the native core/query (Query Loop) block so posts already shown by another Query Loop on the same page are not displayed again.

How it works

1. Edit a Query Loop block in the block editor.
2. In the sidebar, enable Make posts unique on page.
3. Enable the same option on any other Query Loops that should respect prior results.
4. On the front end, each enabled loop excludes post IDs already rendered by previous enabled loops.

Features

• Uses official hooks: query_loop_block_query_vars and render_block.
• No extra database queries; only adjusts existing query arguments.
• Per-request in-memory registry (no transients or options).
• Compatible with Query Loop variations such as Advanced Query Loop.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.7 or later
