    Hi,

    I have been using your plugin for most of my sites. It works really great. However, recently client requested that if parent category is set for posts than only those posts should appear on frontend and not the once which have its child category.
    Is it possible to pass parameter in shortcode ( eg. include_children=”false” ) ??
    This way or any other way since i tried it and its not working.

    Any help much appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Siddhesh

    Hi @siddheshsj,
    Yes, you could use the alm_query_args filter to add custom query params.

    I’m not sure whether include_children is possible with a standard category query though.

    Hi dcooney,

    Thanks for reply!! As you said include_children not working. Is there some other way to prevent child posts ??

    You could try to use the alm_query_args filter and use a category__in query.

    <?php
function my_category_listing($args, $id){  
  $args['category__in'] = array(12, 13, 20);
  return $args; 
}
add_filter( 'alm_query_args_category_listing', 'my_category_listing', 10, 2);

    I read on Stack Overflow that category__in will not display posts that have child cats.
