Hide category option from filter bar

[sm2dev]

Hi,

Support previous helped me [Help Desk-Ref: 1509722-57295-eab969ee31] add the WordPress core Categories taxonomy to the Filter Bar. I need to hide a category from displaying on the front end. I’m wondering if you can tell me how I do that based on the code that support provided for me previously?

Here is a link to the code Juan provide: https://gist.github.com/juanfra/be7f4052ebb113278fef88a3a38a5d73#file-tec-filter-bar-category-wordpress-php

Thank you.

Hi Daniel!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

First, please let me note that we are fairly limited in how much support we can give for custom development questions like that.

That said, we always like helping out and at least point users into the right direction as much possible.

If you want to prevent a specific category from showing up in the filter, you can do so by excluding it in the get_terms function. You should modify the following line of the code https://gist.github.com/juanfra/be7f4052ebb113278fef88a3a38a5d73#file-tec-filter-bar-category-wordpress-php-L21

so that it looks like:

$source = get_terms( 'category', array( 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC', 'exclude' => array( 16 ) ) );

where 16 is the category id you want to exclude.

I hope that helps! 🙂

Best,
Victor
