Hi there,

I am trying to show some specified articles sub-categories on my home page by using below function and it does work.

// filter the knowledgebase parser
function nice_knowledgebase_exclude_cat_home( $args ){
  if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
	  $args['include'] = '83'; // replace 8 with the id of the category you want to exclude
  }
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'nicethemes_knowledgebase_default_args', 'nice_knowledgebase_exclude_cat_home' );

I did try this code for parent categories but it doesnt work for sub-categories. Just wondering how can I only show the sub-categories that I want ?

Cheers

And also, how do i change the order of the categories shown?

Hi,

Thank you for writing. I hope you are doing well.

The parameter you need to change is the one named “category”. For example, the following code will display the knowledgebase of categories that are a child of the category ID 8:

With regards to category order, we usually recommend the following plugin. You may want to give it a try and see if it suit your needs. https://wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/

We’ve created an article explaining how to do it: https://nicethemes.com/article/ordering-categories/

Best,
Juan.

Hi Juan,

above solution used to work on my previous version of Flatbase. However, it no longer work when I updated my flatbase to Version 2.0.1. Could you please point me out what went wrong?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for the follow-up.

I’ve checked the code and it should be working for filtering first level categories. Would you please share your site URL in a private reply and let me know what categories are you trying to filter?

Best,
Juan.
