Heads up!
This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

This hook can be used to alter the options returned in a Dynamic field that is mapped to a category/taxonomy.

Usage

add_filter('frm_get_categories', 'frm_order_cats', 10, 2);
function frm_order_cats($args, $field)

Parameters

Examples

Only include categories with no parent

add_filter('frm_get_categories', 'frm_order_cats', 10, 2);
function frm_order_cats($args, $field){
  if($field['id'] == 25){ //change 25 to the ID of your field
    $args['parent'] = 0;
  }
  return $args;
}

Change Order of Categories

This example changes the order of options in a dynamic field set to list categories/taxonomies.

add_filter('frm_get_categories', 'frm_order_cats', 10, 2);
function frm_order_cats($args, $field){
  if($field['id'] == 25){ //change 25 to the ID of your field
    $args['orderby'] = 'ID';
  }
  return $args;
}
