Hi guys!
For a project we're building a filter in an overview page. This filter is based on a custom taxonomy. In this custom taxonomy we have parent, child and subchild categories. This hierarchy should be visible in the filter as well. How can we do such?
Thanks!
Marc

To display the taxonomy filter terms in hierarchy - you should add the attribute output="legacy".

For example:

[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="category" type="checkboxes" output="legacy" url_param="wpv-category"]

As you can see how attribute output="legacy" is added you should add it and it should display terms in hierarchy.
