I have a toolset archive where I have added a taxonomy search. The taxonomy has some terms. 4 of the terms (five, six, seven, eight) has child terms. I want to show only child terms of five and six. How can I do that?
As there is no built-in feature to achieve filtering of term options in the search, this will require some custom script code.
For example here is a code snippet that cycles through the options and removes the ones which don't have 'five-' or 'six-' in the value:
jQuery( document ).on( 'ready js_event_wpv_pagination_completed js_event_wpv_parametric_search_form_updated js_event_wpv_parametric_search_results_updated', function( event, data ) {
jQuery('.wpv-custom-search-filter input[name="wpv-saas-feature[]"]').each(function () {
var tHis = jQuery(this);
if (tHis.length) {
var selText = tHis.val();
if ( (selText.indexOf('five-') >= 0) || (selText.indexOf('six-') >= 0) ) {}
else { tHis.parents('.form-check').remove(); }
}
});
});

The problem is that the site that I gave access to is my test site. So the terms it has are for testing purpose. I replicated the problem on this test site. So the terms on my real site, doesn't start with 'five-' or 'six-'. Those are random strings on my real site.
Isn't there any way to remove the terms from backend by using 'pre-get-terms' hook. I saw that it has filtering options. Actually I tried it but couldn't achieve it.
Is it possible to solve this problem with 'pre-get-terms' hook?
function custom_get_terms_args( $args, $taxonomies ) {
// execute only if not admin area and page is the post type archive for 'book' and the taxonomy query is for the 'book-category'
if ( (! is_admin()) && (is_post_type_archive('book')) && ($taxonomies[0] == 'book-category' ) ) {
// include only the terms with these IDs
$args['include'] = array(2,4, 6);
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'get_terms_args', 'custom_get_terms_args', 10, 2 );
The above code snippet will work on the 'book' type post archive page, for the query of the 'book-category' terms, to limit only to terms with ID '2', '4' & '6'.
