The categories field shows a list of all categories. On a hierarchical taxonomy, I was to show only the parent categories

[ketanshah79]

Greetings,

Problem Description

I have a df_menu_item_taxonomy taxonomy which is hierarchical (can contain nested categories)

For a divi module field of type categories I want to only show the parent (parent = 0) categories. Currently it shows all the categories including nested categories.

$fields['include_categories'] = [ 'label' => esc_html__('Include from only these categories', 'et_builder'), 'type' => 'categories', 'renderer_options' => [ 'use_terms' => true, 'term_name' => 'df_menu_item_taxonomy', ], 'tab_slug' => 'general', 'toggle_slug' => 'data', ];

The renderer_options array should be capable of take further arguments like (parent=0) so that we can have the desired effect

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a post type and a taxonomy which is hierarchical https://gist.github.com/ketanshah79/7f2908a4349b0734b47fa60df4c1f2b3
2. Create a category say "Wine" and a nested category say "Red Wine"
3. Create few custom post type entries and assign them both the above categories.
4. Create a divi module and add the following field
   $fields['include_categories'] = [ 'label' => esc_html__('Include from only these categories', 'et_builder'), 'type' => 'categories', 'renderer_options' => [ 'use_terms' => true, 'term_name' => 'df_menu_item_taxonomy', ], 'tab_slug' => 'general', 'toggle_slug' => 'data', ];
5. On the frontend visual builder add the created divi module.
6. The categories checkbox list will have "Wine" and "Red Wine"

I want to show only the parent categories "Wine"

Having the same issue. Kindly help!

@ketanshah79 Did you find any solution?

I'm stuck at this. Is there any work around for this?
As multiple_checkboxes don't support dynamic options and custom controls are not yet supported in Divi! Referring #40
