ParticipantHi Steve,
Please forgive me if this question has been answered elsewhere.
I really appreciate the “split categories” extension.
Please see this page: https://www.jungiananalysts.org.uk/find-an-analyst/
I am using one root category to allow my users to search for an analyst by geographic region (35).
I will be using another root category (31) in the shortcode to show different member types on different pages.
Here’s my question. In the dropdown select category list, how do I show the categories from one root, but hide the categories in other root?
thanks,

Participantso I am using this shortcode:
[connections show_org='FALSE' show_image='TRUE' category=32 enable_category_by_root_parent='TRUE' show_addresses='TRUE' show_phone_numbers='TRUE' show_email='TRUE' str_select="Select Region" str_select_all="Show All Regions" show_empty_categories='FALSE' str_contact="Contact" str_home_phone="tel" str_cell_phone="mobile" str_work_phone="tel" str_personal_email="@" str_work_email="@" contact_name_format="%first% %last%" addr_format="%line1% %line2% %line3% %city%, %zipcode% %country%" background_gradient='FALSE' background_color="#fefefe" str_note_head="About my practice"]

But I want the dropdown menu to show categories from the root category “35”

ParticipantHi,
I figure dout that I needed to setenable_category_by_root_parent=’FALSE’
but I still have the original problem

Try:
[connections show_org='FALSE' show_image='TRUE' category=35 enable_category_by_root_parent='TRUE' show_addresses='TRUE' show_phone_numbers='TRUE' show_email='TRUE' str_select="Select Region" str_select_all="Show All Regions" show_empty_categories='FALSE' str_contact="Contact" str_home_phone="tel" str_cell_phone="mobile" str_work_phone="tel" str_personal_email="@" str_work_email="@" contact_name_format="%first% %last%" addr_format="%line1% %line2% %line3% %city%, %zipcode% %country%" background_gradient='FALSE' background_color="#fefefe" str_note_head="About my practice"]
Or, with your existing shortcode you could try adding
exclude_category=X
whereX
is the category ID of the category you want to exclude. I’m not exactly sure if that will give the results you are looking for. -
