Problem:
How to exclude child terms from category archives

Solution:
Since WP 4.4 it has included child terms by default, and to exclude them you need to modify the archive query.

Toolset doesn't haven't any provision for this. You can customise the category archive, but the isn't a setting for the has_children argument.

So you'll need to add some custom code to modify the category archive to your site.

You can find code to do exactly this here: https://gist.github.com/CodeProKid/1d21fb7635141491c7c1facd5e99d1ad

Simply copy and paste the code in that link into your theme's functions.php file (or using a plugin such as Code Snippets).

That code works for the standard WP categories. If you wanted to do the same with a custom taxonomy the code would need modifying.
