I have a Toolset archive where I added a custom taxonomy search. But I want to exclude the child terms for this archive. How can I do that?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

From where you want to exclude the child terms from archive. Is it from the select drop-down filter? Can you please share screenshot of your edit archive and tell me from where exactly you want to exclude the child terms.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. In the archive search, I want to exclude the child terms from the checkboxes and also from the search results.

There is no native way to exclude those terms.

Can you please share problem URL where I can see the archive and admin access details and let me check if I can offer you any possible workaround.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I see you assigned the archive multiple entities like post types and taxonomies.
=> hidden link

On what archive you want to remove the child terms?

Hi thanks for your concern. I want to remove the child terms form the 'saas' archive.

Can you please check now: hidden link

I've added the following code to "Custom Code" section with the code snippet "remove-child-terms"
=> hidden link

function func_display_only_parent_terms( $query ){
         
  if(is_post_type_archive('saas') && $query->query_vars['taxonomy'][0] == 'saas-feature' && !is_admin() ){
        
     	$query->query_vars['parent']=0;     
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_terms', 'func_display_only_parent_terms',10,1);

Hi,

Thanks for the code. The code is working perfectly.

As I am hiding the child terms in the SAAS archive, I will need to show only the child terms of term 'five' in hidden link

Is there any way to do that?

[Minesh]

No - that is taxonomy archive and you can not filter the taxonomy archive with the same taxonomy term.

[fahimS-2]

Thanks for the answer.

If I can not show only the child terms of term 'five' of taxonomy 'saas-feature' for that archive, can I do the same for hidden link and how can I do that?
