[Resolved] Post category

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user has a taxonomy with child terms but they wanted to have a separate filter for child and Parent terms.

Solution:

Unfortunately no this isn't possible with our toolset plugins as we display all the the taxonomies regardless if they are Parent/Child.

What I do recommend is that you can separate your Parent and use a separate taxonomy for the children. Doing this you can then introduce a secondary filter will the children and the children will filter based on what you selected in the parent .

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I created a custom post type call experts with it's categories. Some of my categories have sub categories. I would like to my view filtered page hidden link to only show the top level of the category and when selected show the child of that category similar to your " Which plugin or feature is your question related to? " and can this be also done for the frontend form

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
