Opt Out Federation for a Single Content Item

Disable federation for one Joomla article without affecting the rest of the category or author account.

Before you begin

Per-content opt-out is supported in runtime, but there is currently no dedicated Fediverse field in the standard article form.
This is an advanced admin workflow and requires direct database access.
Confirm the numeric Joomla article ID before changing data.

Apply the opt-out

Insert or update a row in #__fediverse_content_settings:

INSERT INTO #__fediverse_content_settings (context, item_id, federate)
VALUES ('com_content.article', <ARTICLE_ID>, 0)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE federate = VALUES(federate);

Replace <ARTICLE_ID> with the Joomla article ID.

Re-enable federation later

To allow federation again for that article:

INSERT INTO #__fediverse_content_settings (context, item_id, federate)
VALUES ('com_content.article', <ARTICLE_ID>, 1)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE federate = VALUES(federate);

Check your result

Save or republish the article.
Open Components -> Fediverse -> Deliveries.
Confirm no outbound activity is queued for that item.

Troubleshooting

If deliveries still appear, confirm the article ID and com_content.article context value.
If the whole category should be excluded, use the category-level opt-out instead.
