    Hello , I want to hide the post from subcategory in the main category but I can’t find the way.
    for example if someone visit my main category I don’t want him to see the posts of all the sub categories in the main category post list.
    or I must create different category for each subject?

    Main is (ArabNews) sub (KSA news , Jordan News , Syria news ) so i don’t want to show the posts from (KSA news) in Arab news..

    is that possible? Thanks in advance for your time and help

    You can hide subcategories using this code in functions.php of your theme 

    
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 )
        //exclude the posts in child categories
        $query->set( 'category__not_in', array_merge( $child_cats ) );
    }

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

    `

    Let me know if it works

    Hi @davao1 !

    You could use a PHP Code Snippet plugin and add create a filter in the pre_get_posts:

    
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'filter_out_children');

function filter_out_children( $query ) {
  if ( is_main_query() && is_category() && ! is_admin() ) {
     $qo = $query->get_queried_object();
     $tax_query = array(
       'taxonomy' => 'category',
       'field' => 'id',
       'terms' => ! is_null($qo) ? $qo->term_id : null,
       'include_children' => false
     );
     $query->set( 'tax_query', array($tax_query) );
  }
}

    Hope it helps!
