 * Sorry if this has been asked before – I couldn’t find the answer…
   Is it possible
   to filter starting at a certain term in a hierarchical taxonomy (e.g. categories)
   and then just show child terms for further filtering?

 * Hi [@simonmaddox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonmaddox/)
 * Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
 * If you mean if there is the possibility to cut off some hierarchy categories 
   and show only the ones that you need from the middle then no, there is no such
   possibility.
   If you mean can you use parent categories in one filter and chield
   ones in the second filter also no. You can create with PRO version two filter
   sets and place them on the same page to create two filter sets with include/exclude
   functionality to display only the needed ones in one set and then in another 
   one.
 * Best Regards – Victor

 * It was the former that I wanted – to set the start point of the category search
   to something other than the root and to opt to include that node in the tree 
   or not.
   I hope you might consider this in the future…..

 * Hi [@simonmaddox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonmaddox/)
 * Perhaps with future updates something like that will be added to the plugin functionality.
