Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Do you mean that with your product category archive, you only want to display the sub-categories and hide the top level terms with the frontend filter you added on right hand sidebar?

[alexd-6]

yes i think so - it can be over the result ..

maybe like on Screenshot

Hey Minish, you know what i mean?

What if you try to create a taxonomy view and configure it's loop editor section and add whatever things you want to display with your taxonomy view and add the taxonomy view outside your archive's loop.

Hey - is there an demo or a link where i can see it?

In Archive i cant see a Filter for it:

Ahh, you not just want to display the subcategories but you want to also display the filter.

You can not add the Product Category as taxonomy filter to taxonomy archive as one taxonomy archive of term X (that displays the posts belongs to term X) you can not display the term Y posts.

There are couple of workarounds:
1 - Either you can create a "Custom Search" view and add category filter there and add this view to some page.
OR
2 - You can only display the taxonomy term links at top of the page as per your screenshots by creating the taxonomy view.

If you do not know how to do it (2nd), please share access details and I will setup a demo for you.

*** 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.

So, Can you please confirm, on this page: hidden link

What categories you want to display (just display link of that category, not the filter):
- Do you want to display top level terms
- Do you want to display 2nd level terms?

[alexd-6]

oh thx - i want to display only 2nd level terms

but best is: show in category alsays same level (sibblings) of categories as filter.

I've created the following taxonomy view:
=> hidden link

And added the following filter to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> hidden link

function func_display_subcats( $query_settings, $view_settings, $view_id  ){
 global $wp_query;
    if ( $view_id == 523){
       
        $obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
        $query_settings['child_of'] = $obj->parent;
       
    }
    return $query_settings;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_taxonomy_query', 'func_display_subcats', 30, 3 );

And the, With your taxonomy archive, within the Loop Editor section I've added the taxonomy view created at top:

[wpv-view name="tax-view-product-cats"]

=> hidden link

You can format the taxonomy view output as required.

[alexd-6]

hidden link

best regards - alex

The categories are displayed and if you mouse-hover on it you will see it.

There is a conflict where white color is applied to anchor tags. Can you please adjust the color for your anchor tag and you will be able to see the anchor.
=> hidden link

You should adjust that CSS and that will help you to resolve your issue.

[alexd-6]

hi Minesh - no i just changed the css - you can see all if you clear cache,,

but if i switch between the "Main-categorys" - the submenu-filter is not switching too. What is the Problem

Main-Categories are all in first level of navigation menu above.

thx for you help, alex

What you mean by switch to main category and where I can see the issue?
