posts in subcategories

[Meg0143]

I want posts in subcategories to not also show up in parent category. Possible?

Try this code in your child themes functions file.

add_filter( 'post_type_archive_title', 'filter_custom_post_type_archive_title', 10, 2 );

function wpse_filter_child_cats( $query ) {

if ( $query->is_category ) {
    $queried_object = get_queried_object();
    $child_cats = (array) get_term_children( $queried_object->term_id, 'category' );

    if ( ! $query->is_admin )
       
        $query->set( 'category__not_in', array_merge( $child_cats ) );
    }

    return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpse_filter_child_cats' );

Thanks, braddalton! Works fine!

Note : The following part was copied by mistake from another function and isn't needed.

add_filter( 'post_type_archive_title', 'filter_custom_post_type_archive_title', 10, 2 );
