My goal: to use the Category Siblings shortcode but not all categories of my WP should be shown there.
The Category Siblings shortcodes shows in the TD Composer a field “Categories to show” – with a value “auto”. This value cannot be changed.
In Theme Panel -> Categories -> Per category settings I can switch HIDE CATEGORY ON POST AND ON CATEGORY PAGES on and off. But this has apparently no impact on Category Siblings.
What means are available to select which ones of my list of categories is shown in Category Siblings?
Hi,
That setting in the composer for the siblings doesn’t seem to have a tooltip, I will add it on the list and one will be added.
It is meant to be used in combination with this setting – https://prnt.sc/pqo1q4 It will limit the number of categories displayed before a drop-down appears with the rest of them.
The setting from the theme panel to hide specific category tags won’t affect the cloud templates.
So it seems that at the moment there would be no way of showing or removing specific categories from the siblings element. Maybe something for this will be added in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
Re how to select from categories: my problem is the need for “technical” categories to distinct between blogs to be shown or not shown in a Block. These categories have no semantic meaning and should not be visible in the Category Siblings. My alternative is now to kick out the Category Siblings.
I’m strongly in favor of a multiple categories filter like the one for Blocks where I can list the to-be-shown categories.
Hi,
If you want to hide some categories on specific posts/pages then I can help you with a custom css, if you need my help please provide me a link from where you want to hide it.
Thank you!
