    Hello,
    i ask for your support for the following problem:

    I have the Rocket Board template that comes with a portfolio and portfolio categories.
    [show_post_categories show = “taxonomy”] shows correctly
    Custom Taxonomy name for Category: portfolio-category.

    The following syntax also works: [show_post_categories show = “category” taxonomy = “portfolio-category” parent = “yes” hyperlink = “yes”]. With and without the parameter “taxonomy = …” it works without problems.

    However, if I add the attribute “parentcategory”, the plugin will not show anything on the portfolio page anymore. [show_post_categories show = “category” taxonomy = “portfolio-category” parentcategory = “tasks” parent = “no” hyperlink = “yes”]

    The portfolio category is structured as follows:
    tasks
    – Controlling
    – Purchase
    – Finance and Law
    ….
    business
    – Construction
    – Chemistry and raw materials
    – Services
    ….
    And 3 more categories consisting of main and sub categories.

    versions:
    PlugIn: 2.2.4
    WordPress: 5.2.2
    Rocket Board: 1.10

    Each portfolio entry has its own mix of major and minor categories. However, I want to address in a row only one main category.

    I would appreciate your support, thank you!

    Hello chr22320

    Thank you for using “Show Post Categories” !

    I’ve simulated your use case with a random portfolio plugin called “Visual Portfolio” as “Rocket Board” seems to be a premium theme.

    I can confirm that Portfolio’s seem to cause some unexpected behaviour for; taxonomy and parentcategory. However I believe you can solve your issue by using the following shortcode:

    [show_post_categories show="category" taxonomy="portfolio-category" parent="no" hyperlink="yes"]

    Could you give it a try and provide feedback?

    For the unexpected behaviour I’ll look at ways to give it a better functionallity in case of Portfolio.

    Hello willemso,

    many thanks for your response! [show_post_categories show = “category” taxonomy = “portfolio-category” parent = “no” hyperlink = “yes”] works fine. All subcategories of all major categories are displayed. The main categories itself are not displayed, which is fine.

    If I then add the filter parentcategory = “tasks” to get only the subcategories of this one main category, then nothing is displayed anymore.

    Do you have any further idea? Thanks! Best regards Christian

    Hi Christian

    Ok, I thought you linked only 1 set of Parents to the post.
    After some debugging this seems to be caused due to the custom taxonomy.

    To fix this I would need to rewrite a large part of code, with impact to the main function; returning post categories. So this will take some time to do (some weeks).

    I can however tell you what part to modify in my code to fix your issue.
    Basicly you need to replace:
    if(cat_is_ancestor_of($ParentCatID , $category) || $category->term_id == $ParentCatID)
    With:
    if($category->parent == $ParentCatID || $category->term_id == $ParentCatID)
    This within the file category.php on line 81.

    You’ll do this easily with the WordPress plugin-editor within your plugins dashboard.
