5 days and still waiting to hear about if this is going to work folks… Please help us? We were supposed to launch this page tomorrow and the only thing holding us back is this seemingly simple issue. We really need to be able to select each category and not have the children all show up unless we select them individually in the masonry grid.

So I tried using that code and got the error above. I modified it and used this code, but it still has the same blog categories showing up on the page: (The name of the page is ‘landing-page’ so I am assuming to use that). I put it under line 17 as you sent in the photo

// exclude categories
add_filter( ‘avia_blog_post_query’, ‘avia_blog_post_query_mod’, 10, 2 );
function avia_blog_post_query_mod($query, $params) {

if( is_page(‘landing-page’) ) {
// exclude an array of categories on the “fish” page
$query[‘tax_query’][] =
[
‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’,
‘field’ => ‘name’,
‘terms’ => array(‘membership’, ‘member-deals’, ‘member-directory’),
‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’,
];
}

return $query;
}

Hey there, still waiting and wondering if there is any support for this? We are trying to launch a page to help our community in the face of COVID-19 and would love your support.

Hey there!

So I used the code in that post and changed it to work for our site, I think, but it isn’t working.

Can you please check? Here is the code I used to try and hide “membership” and “membership-deals” from the homepage

`// exclude categories
add_filter( ‘avia_blog_post_query’, ‘avia_blog_post_query_mod’, 10, 2 );
function avia_blog_post_query_mod($query, $params) {
if( is_page(‘landing-page’) ) {
// exclude category when the current page is “landing-page”
$query[‘tax_query’][] =
[
‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’,
‘field’ => ‘name’,
‘terms’ => ‘membership’,
‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’,
];
}

if( is_page(‘landing-page’) ) {
// exclude an array of categories on the “fish” page
$query[‘tax_query’][] =
[
‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’,
‘field’ => ‘name’,
‘terms’ => array(‘membership’, ‘member-deals’, ‘member-directory’),
‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’,
];
}

return $query;
}
‘

Great thanks! You will see on our website that at the bottom of the main page, we are working on this grid system. It has 8 posts that should be there, and any others that are in the child categories shouldn’t be (such as Member Deals or Membership Directory, which should only show up on the grid once people click).

Also, if you look at something like 30% Off Bumper to Bumper: It shows up on both the Community Board grid and Membership Grid and Member Deals grid, although it needs to only show up on Member Deals grid and not the parent grids.

I hope this is possible and simple! Seems like a common issue that would be needed for these sorts of things.

Also, ideally, there would be times when we could make it work this way, but we can always just select to show all the child and parent categories in a grid rather than have it automatic.

Also getting word that the site looks really bad and messed up on some computers!
