Hello Elliot,

I have a very simple task: a taxonomy field to show in admin a list consisting from only few terms of the taxonomy, not all. So far I wasn’t able to find a filter by which it would be possible to change taxonomy request. Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hi @wpUXsolutions

Looking at the taxonomy field type file, on line 205 you will see this line of code:

// vars
		$args = array(
			'taxonomy'     => $field['taxonomy'],
			'hide_empty'   => false,
			'style'        => 'none',
			'walker'       => new acf_taxonomy_field_walker( $field ),
		);
		
		$args = apply_filters('acf/fields/taxonomy/wp_list_categories', $args, $field );

Using this filter, you can customize the $args. These $args are later used on line 238 in the function wp_list_categories. If you check out this function on WordPress, you will see that there are some params which ‘exclude’.

Thanks
E
