Problem: I would like to set up a View that filters results based on two separate hierarchical taxonomies. I want to specify a single term from each taxonomy using a shortcode attribute in my View shortcode. I do not want to include results from the selected terms' child terms. I only want to include results that have the selected terms applied.

Solution: Use shortcode attributes on your View to pass in the terms you want to filter, and create taxonomy Query Filters to respond to these shortcodes.

Add the following code to functions.php:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'only_term_filter',99,3 );
function only_term_filter( $query_args, $views_settings, $view_id) {
 
  if ($view_id == 12345){
    foreach($query_args['tax_query'] as $tq) {
      if( isset( $tq['taxonomy'] ) ){
        $tax = $tq['taxonomy'];
        $term = get_term_by('id', $tq['terms'][0], $tax);
        $termChildren = get_term_children($term->term_id, $tax);
        $query_args['tax_query'][] = array(
          'taxonomy' => $tax,
          'field' => 'id',
          'terms' => $termChildren,
          'operator' => 'NOT IN'
        );
      }
    }
  }
  return $query_args;
}

Modify the View ID 12345 to match your View's numeric ID.

Then use the following shortcode to place the View on your site:

[wpv-view name="program-by-college-type" wpvpgmcollege="healthsciences" wpvpgmtype="undergrad"]

Replace the slugs as needed, or make them dynamic by replacing the values with other shortcodes.
