Hello,

I would like only show primary category in :
[wpv-post-taxonomy type="category" format="name"]

It's possible ?

Thank you

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As you can see with the reference doc for the shortcode: [wpv-post-taxonomy type="category" format="name"]
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#vf-153472

I'm afraid that you can't customize the output of the [wpv-post-taxonomy] shortcode as there is no option to display only parent terms.

The workaround should be you follow is:
- You could use a taxonomy View - To add a taxonomy view - you will have to enable the classic view:
=> https://toolset.com/course-lesson/enabling-legacy-version-of-toolset-views/#enabling-legacy-views

- Add a taxonomy view and set this view's source of content as your desired taxonomy
- Add a taxonomy parent filter where parent is "None", which will return only the top-level terms from "Query Filter" section.
- Then add a taxonomy term filter "set by the current post" from the "Query Filter" section - which will get the terms from the current post in the loop.
- In the View's "Loop Editor" section add whatever content you want to display and save your view and add your view instead of using [wpv-post-taxonomy type="category" format="name"].
