I want to show specific selected categories that vendors can choose while uploading or updating products. How can I do that?

Hi Rishi, thanks for the query.

By default vendor can select categories added by the admin. You just need to go to admin dashboard >> MultiVendorX >> Settings >> General , from here enable the Category Pyramid Guide option https://prnt.sc/c8wJ3B6I80z6

Once the admin enables this option from admin dashboard, the vendor will get the categories added by the admin before adding a new product from his dashboard https://prnt.sc/ydN8yBRQ91-P

But if you are looking for some specific flow, can you please explain that?

I have many categories on my site but I don’t want to allow vendors can select some categories. Vendors can only select those categories that I can allow like (Ableton Vocal Preset Packs, CUBASE VOCAL PRESET PACKS, and Drum Kits) from this https://www.screenpresso.com/=WK6ng

Hi, There is no such setting in MultiVendorX using which the admin can restrict some categories for the vendors.
But with the Marketplace Membership module you can create a membership plan for vendors under which you as an admin can select allowed categories for the vendor. That means if a vendor buys that membership plan he will only be able to add products under those allowed categories.

You can go through our knowledgebase doc for details on the marketplace membership module https://multivendorx.com/docs/knowledgebase/marketplace-memberhsip/
But if you still want to add the restriction in mutivendorx, then you have to do custom code and add this restriction.

There is any filter or hook available in your plugin for the restriction category?

Hi,
Kindly add below code to your function.php to hide some categories from your vendor add product page.

add_filter( 'mvx_vendor_product_classify_first_level_categories', 'mvx_vendor_product_classify_first_level_categories_backup');
function mvx_vendor_product_classify_first_level_categories_backup($cat_array) {
   $cat_array['exclude'] = array(15); // add categorie id here saparated by comma
return $cat_array;
}

Copy

I added that code to my function.php file but it doesn’t work because the category from this [https://www.screenpresso.com/=WGE2e, https://www.screenpresso.com/=9x74f%5D function is displayed on the vendor dashboard and there is no mention of the filter you gave me to exclude categories for vendors.

Hi,
for edit product page add custom code using below filter –

apply_filters( "mvx_get_product_terms_product_cat_query_args", array(
            'taxonomy'   => $taxonomy,
            'hide_empty' => false,
            'orderby'    => 'name',
            'parent'     => 0,
            'fields'     => 'id=>name',
            ) );

Hi,
Add below code and add your all cat id in the array separated by comma,

add_filter( "mvx_get_product_terms_product_cat_query_args", 'mvx_get_product_terms_product_cat_query_args_callback');
function mvx_get_product_terms_product_cat_query_args_callback($args) {
    $args['include'] = array(15); //add all cat id here
return $args;
}
