Hi Cojocaru,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Taking a look at this our shortcodes are not able to deliver only the top level taxonomy terms since our shortcode is using the get_the_terms() function.

To do this you will need to write a custom shortcode to only deliver the taxonomy parent.

This custom shortcode will need to use the get_term() function.

What you can do is to contact one of our certified partners for assistance with this.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane
