i noticed that we did not use the 'include on home page' tag that was initially set up

Hi Zac, i noticed that we did not use the 'include on home page' tag that was initially set up.

After doing some playing around this is what works on my end, not sure if this is to filter the array to include only items which have been selected to be displayed.

FYI: i've called my selection box featured.

For now this seams to work.

$args = array( 'post_type'=>'work', 'posts_per_page'=>4, 'orderby'=>'rand', 'post__not_in' => array(get_the_id()), 'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'featured', 'value' => '', // 'compare' => '!=' // only seams to work with not =, does not work with value ) ) );
