This is a follow-on to a previous question - I can now get a bit more specific, and I’m hoping someone can suggest something: When I try to combine wp-if-has-tag="!random" and wp-loop-clear-columns in the same wp-loop with class=“col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-sm-6”, the !has\_tag( ‘random’) test doesn’t include what I want it to. I need the tag test to suppress not only the post but also div with the classes and the clear column logic . That is, if the post has the tag “random”, don’t output ANYTHING and don’t add one to the column count. What I’m looking for is either a way to express my needs in the html, either through attaching the tag test in a different way or by.specifying that the loop excludes posts with the tag “random” (specified by name, not tag-id because that will not be constant). I’ve tried to find a solution in both areas with no success. The following image shows manually-edited php which does what I want (except that less than 9 posts will show if “random” posts were present - but at least they don’t just leave a gap where they would have been output). ![home-working-php](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/1X/e27c6a1f3cd9044c0d1b7b15cb8c116dc8912517.jpg) The Pinegrow generated code (the way I’ve currently specified it) looks like this, and leaves a “hole” where a suppressed post would have been: ![home-not-working-php](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/1X/b28c44c10337a8590ffbe5ddad8227a36219a3dd.jpg) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! ---

@greyguru sorry for the very late reply, would something like this be of use to you in this situation? [http://www.bluthemes.com/blog/3/clearing-bootstrap-3-columns](http://www.bluthemes.com/blog/3/clearing-bootstrap-3-columns) it might help simplify your code and allow you to achieve what you’re trying to do. ---

Thanks Rob, I haven’t had a chance to look into this in detail yet. For instance, Pinegrow 4 may do things differently. But one thing is for sure, I’m really grateful for you reply because I had a nagging feeling that I had made a change directly to the PHP, and couldn’t find any documentation to myself to tell me where it was. THIS was it! So thanks very much. I’ll update when I take another look, but I’m into so many things it may be another four months! Luckily, this is a cosmetic problem that will only occur when I post a particular kind of post AND it’s in the most recent nine posts. David ---

Wow what are the odds of me posting a link to the docs you had previously used, glad it was of some use.
