    Hello Steven,

    In Connections on my web page http://www.gezondlope.mijnwebserver.nl/winkels/ I have two main categories. I have added entries that are placed in one of those two categories or in both. On the website I want to make two lists:

    1. List with all entries in category A
    2. List with all entries in category B

    I have tried to use the shortcode [exclude_category] to both listings, but in that case all entries that are in both categories are also excluded from the list.

    When using the shortcode [category_in] the listing results are ok. In the filter option on the left side of the screen displays both categories to filter, but that is exactly what I don’t want. When excluding Category B I don’t want to display this category as a choice.

    Is there a shortcode to do so?

    Best regards,
    Mike

    @ Mike

    What is the exact shortcode you are using? Which categories, by ID should be displayed as options?

    I am using the following shortcode: [connections category='3' show_empty_categories=TRUE show_category_count=TRUE enable_category_by_root_parent=false] It is showing everything within category number 3, but at the filter option on the left side the category Deelnemende winkels Schoenenplein (= main category ID 15) is also being displayed, and that is what I don’t want.

    I guess the ‘problem’ is that some entries are in both categories and therefore this category is also being displayed in filter option.

    @ Mike

    Well, the shortcode you have is very close, try this:

    [connections category='3' show_empty_categories=TRUE show_category_count=TRUE enable_category_by_root_parent=true]

    This will permit only cat ID 3 and its children to display as options.

    Hope that helps!
