Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am trying to build a category tree with categories and subcategories, but the subcategories are showing up as both subcategories and categories.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To troubleshoot this, I'll need to see how these nested views are set up in the admin area.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, in reply to this message?

Thank you for sharing the access details.

I checked both the taxonomy views and noticed that they were mostly set up correctly.

The only thing missing was the query filter in the parent view 'Resource Topics' so that it shows only the parent-level terms.
( i.e. Select taxonomy terms whose parent is None. screenshot: hidden link )

I've added that and the nested list is showing correctly now.

Tip: To include the empty terms in the view's output, you can uncheck the option 'Don't show empty terms' from the view's 'Query Options'.
