Hi,

on Screenshot you see a red sign for this category we are in.

But the Subcategories are all "First-Level-Entries" like (Automarken,Heckzelte, Sonnensegel and so on..) are show in category-view. And if i go to "Sonnensegel -> Toyota" nothing change in View..

thx

There are few things I would like to make it clear again.

- When I select TOP level term (term having no parent) - what is your expected result?
- When I select term VW T6 - what is your expected result?

hey,

- When I select TOP level term (term having no parent) - what is your expected result?
i would see the Subcategories of selected TOP level term as filter in view

- When I select term VW T6 - what is your expected result?
i would see the Subcategories (sibblings) of same Top level term as filter in view

thx - alex

The thing is that you can not filter taxonomy view by taxonomy term.

Which I explained here.

You can just display the subcategories link and when you click on that it will display that clicked term archive. I hope I make the things clear.

Thanks for the suggestion but this is not something can be implemented.

Because its illegal to display archive posts of taxonomy term A on taxonomy term B. That is why you can not add filter to it. If you are displaying taxonomy archive page for the term A, you can not list term B posts on term A archive.

The only quick way I suggest is create a view and add taxonomy filter to it and add this view to a new page.
