I wish to list custom taxonomy terms as titles and custom posts as lists under titles:
Basics
- List item1
- List item2
Movies
- List item3
Images
- List item4
However, custom taxonomy is HIERARCHICAL and if the hierarchy looks like Basics/Movies and Basics/Images, all posts from Movies and from Images are listed also under Basics. So, current result looks like this:
Basics
- List item1
- List item2
- List item3 - wrong!
- List item4 - wrong!
Movies
- List item3
Images
- List item4
So, the actual code is here (simplified):
$cats = get_categories(array('taxonomy'=>'dzialy'));
foreach($cats as $cat){
$data[] = array(
'cat' => $cat,
'post' => get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'tutorial',
'numberposts'=> -1,
'hierarchical' => false,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => $cat->taxonomy,
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array($cat->slug),
'operator' => 'IN'
)
)
))
);
}
Now, I display them using $data array, having ['cat'] as category data and ['post'] as complete post data. The post number in ['cat'] array is correct. The post list in ['post'] part contains redundant posts. In all those data there is no indication that post is going from category which is hierarchical or not, no parent information. How to create a 'pure' list? Every post is only in one custom category.

Reset to default 1Have a look at the Taxonomy Parameters for WP_Query. The argument you are missing is include_children, which by default is true, you need to set it to false to not include posts in child terms.
