VC Post Grid filters

[fundlr]

Hi,

I’m using a Post Grid, and displayed categories filters on top of the grid (Show filters: yes please!)
So it displays all categories. (in the taxonomy order).
So, 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to change the display order?

2. It displays all categories, parents and children, without distinction.
-> Is is possible to display only top level categories?
Then when clicking on a parent category, it displays posts from this category as well as from children categories?

I guess it will require modifying js_composer\include\templates\shortcodes\vc_basic_grid_filter.php, around lines 2~11
And some other JS files, such as js_composer\assets\js\components\vc_grid.js, around lines 162~172

Thanks !

They are probably using get_terms. You can filter that with orderby and parent: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms

sorry how you solved i need also to set category filters.

Finally I did not use the default VC component.
I used FacetWP to get my filters done.

Do you know something less exspensive..?

[fundlr]

No sorry.
You might want to ask to VC support team if you can tweak their filters behaviour.

Sorry @fundir i want also to use facetWP for filters but i need to know i need filter that do something like this

1) Main Category –> Restaurant
Child category –> Pizza

I want that when an user want to search a restaurant that do pizza in the dropdown menu apper all the child categories and not the main.

The main category is something that help me to group all the articles..but the important filters are the child categories

With this plugin you can do this..?

Thanks
