Filter categories through search query

This guide explains how to configure a "Categories" block to display only blog categories whose names match a specific search query.

Filtering categories via search query

This procedure applies to the "Categories" block within the Visual Builder.

1. Open Block Settings:

In the Visual Builder, click on the block that displays the blog categories (usually called "Categories") to open the settings window.

2. Select the Display Mode:

In the main settings section, look for the label Categories to show.

  • Click on the dropdown menu and select the option Via query.

3. Enter the Search Query:

A new field labeled Search query will appear.

  • Enter the term or phrase that must be contained in the category name (for example, if you enter "Marketing," only categories containing "Marketing" in the title will be shown).

> Note: The field has the placeholder Ricerca da effettuare.

4. Save Changes:

After entering the query, click the save button to apply the filter to the block. The block will now display only the categories that meet the specified search criteria.
