How to hide post in WordPress

by

I think you need in your query is post__not_in but you aren’t showing any code:

taken from WP_Query:

$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'post__not_in' => array( 2, 5, 12, 14, 20 ) ) );

if you want to exclude that particular post you’re in you would do:

'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),

Based on your code example I would take a guess you have two different querys going on. One for the full width image and the remaining for the image left and content right areas. I would still apply the same rule of 'post__not_in' => array($post->ID) but if you’re asking to omit the feature category you would use 'category_not_in' => 'feature',. So the arguments would look like:

$args = array(
    'posts_per_page'    => 5,
    'meta_key'          => 'meta-checkbox',
    'meta_value'        => 'yes',
    'post__not_in'      => array($post->ID),
);
$featured = new WP_Query($args);

or 

$args = array(
    'posts_per_page'    => 5,
    'meta_key'          => 'meta-checkbox',
    'meta_value'        => 'yes',
    'category_not_in'   => 'feature',
);
$featured = new WP_Query($args);

A few pointers I follow when coding:

  1. I do not see a wp_reset_postdata(); at the end of your loop. I’ve always been taught it’s good to reset the query after it’s been called. Reference “wp_reset_postdata() or wp_reset_query() after a custom loop?“

use the “what if” mentality:

  1. You call for the_category(', '); but you do not consider if you do not have a category checked so you should possibly consider has_category()
