    Hi 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,
    Stephen

    so 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"]

    to produce this page: https://www.jungiananalysts.org.uk/find-an-analyst/

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

    Hi,
    I figure dout that I needed to set

    enable_category_by_root_parent=’FALSE’

    but I still have the original problem

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

    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 where X 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.
