Hi

On the ‘Add Listings’ page is it possible to hide just the main category from the category selection list. (see Hide main category.jpg) I would like to just hide the ‘Places to Visit’

I did try the following `
.main_list_selecter {
display: none;
}
`
By entering it in the GeoDirectory>Place Settings>Custom Fields>Categories (Taxonomies) in the CSS class field. But this has no effect.

FYI I am using ‘checkbox’ for the Category Display Type.

Even if you could hide the parent category, adding a listing to a subcategory will also automatically add it to the parent category.
Would it not make more sense to remove the parent category rather than just hiding it?

Hi Guust
Yes, I know that the main category is automatically selected when a sub-category is selected, which is what I want.

I just wanted to clean it up so the user does not need to see the main category. Do you think this is possible?

Hi,

my IP is 187.178.189.81

I’ll check if it’s possible and if it is I’ll give you CSS for 1 cpt and you’ll adapt it to all other.

Thanks

Hi,

you only have 1 parent category per CPT, why not remove it and only work with 1st level categories, instead of hiding it?

Let me know,

Thanks

Hi Paolo

The structure that we have gives us what we trying to achieve, and the flexibility for the user to navigate easily through the different pages to what they are interested in.

To be clear, all I am trying to do is to hide the main category on the “add listing” page so they do not have to tick it (This is done by default).

Ok, this css should work for all CPT:
```
.gd-cats-display-checkbox.gd-cat-row-0 > span {
    display: none !important;
}
```
Please add it to GD > Design > Scripts > Custom css.

Thanks
