Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I'm not sure yet what exactly you want. Do you mean that you want to display the taxonomy term parent with each subcategory? or you want to display terms in parent->child hierarchy?

Hi Minesh,

yes, i want to show the parent-Category-Name over grouped Subkategorie-Filter or display terms-filter in parent->child hierarchy.

can you help me?

thx - alex

Can you please send me access details so I can check how exactly you configured your view?

*** 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.

Unfortunately - the admin access details you send to me is not working at this end.

Can you please send me working admin access details.

Can you please check now: hidden link

I've set your view's "Custom Search settings " to "Let me choose individual settings manually" and "Always show all values for inputs".

I can see now terms hierarchy.

Can you tell me if i can hide emty subcategories?

With Custom Search Settings - either you can select " Show only available options for each input", that will only display the terms for available results and hence it will not display the parent category and that is why if you want to display terms hierarchy you will have to go with option ""Always show all values for inputs".

ok - what is a workaround? Can i add an class to empty Categories or can i do this with jquery? What do you think?

I think jQuery would be better solution.

I've added the following jQuery code to your view's "Search and Pagination" sections JS editor:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  
  $(".children li:contains(0)").hide();

});

jQuery( document ).on( 'js_event_wpv_parametric_search_results_updated', function( event, data ) {
	/**
	* data.view_unique_id (string) The View unique ID hash
	* data.layout (object) The jQuery object for the View layout wrapper
	*/
  jQuery(".children li:contains(0)").hide();
	
});

Can you please confirm it works as expected 🙂
