Pretty straight forward, but I couldn’t find anyone doing exactly what I needed. Also it will display the post if the parent category is selected, except if that post has a child category of that parent selected.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | /* this code excludes all of the children of (category id = 20) posts on the HOME page, but allows parent (category id = 20) to be shown. */ function exclude_category_children($query) { $child_cats = (array) get_term_children('20', 'category'); if ( $query->is_home ) { $query->set('category__not_in', $child_cats); return $query; } } add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category_children'); |
