Category Widget Hide Parents

Hi Rushit,

This may be accomplished by adding the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file.

• Note: The filter will not work if “Always display child categories” is checked.
  • Not currently checked on your site, so the filter will work.

use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Menus\Category; add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/get-child-terms', function( $terms, Category $class ) { if ( $class->get_current_term()->parent === 0 ) { return $terms; } return \array_filter( $terms, function( $term ) use ( $class ) { return $class->is_current_term( $term ) || $class->is_current_term_ancestor( $term ); } ); }, 10, 2 );

Have a great weekend!

Hi Rushit,

This version of the filters will add a “Hide siblings of first level children” checkbox to the widget options. If the option is checked, the siblings will be hidden, if widget will retain the default functionality.

use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Widget\Category; const ASM_HIDE_SIBLINGS = 'asm-hide-siblings'; add_action( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/widget/category/left-column', function( $instance, Category $class ) { ?> <div class="advanced-sidebar-menu-column-box"> <p> <?php $class->checkbox( ASM_HIDE_SIBLINGS ); ?> <label for="<?php echo esc_attr( $class->get_field_id( ASM_HIDE_SIBLINGS ) ); ?>"> <?php esc_html_e( 'Hide siblings of first level children', 'advanced-sidebar-menu' ); ?> </label> </p> </div> <?php }, 10, 2 ); add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/get-child-terms', function( $terms, \Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Menus\Category $class ) { if ( empty( $class->get_widget_instance()[ ASM_HIDE_SIBLINGS ] ) ) { return $terms; } if ( $class->get_current_term()->parent === 0 ) { return $terms; } return \array_filter( $terms, function( $term ) use ( $class ) { return $class->is_current_term( $term ) || $class->is_current_term_ancestor( $term ); } ); }, 10, 2 );

At this time there is no great way to add this functionality if “Always display child categories” is checked because the menu is rendered using WordPress core logic which doesn’t have the necessary conditionals available.

Have a great day!

Yes. Within the functions.php of your active theme.
