Hi,

@andrew Nevins now it is 3 weeks ago but @suyogya Shukla say that it maybe take up to 6 months!

Regards,

Hi Suyogya,

Thank you for the reply.
When I submit a plugin it take 1 day to get approved, I think 6 months is too long for the best content management system.
I think they should solve this.

In public_html folder find wp-config.php file and do exactly like what I told you in my answer.

Edit your wp-config.php file and add the following just before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
line:

define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

Don’t forget to change https://example.com to your original domain.

Edit your wp-config.php file and add the following just before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
line:

define('WP_HOME','https://xxxx.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://xxxx.com');

Don’t forget to change https://xxxx.com to your original domain.

Thank you for quick reply.
I just sent an email to you.

Is it OK now?

The MailPoet team contacted me and the problem solved.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your time that you spent with me,I just put $output=''; before the foreach loop the magic happened and everything work perfectly. So the following code work great for me.
You really lifesaver.

function mosff_disable_parent_categories($output) {
$diabled_categories = array(6,4);
$output_parts = explode('value="', $output);
$output='';
foreach ($output_parts as $output_part) {
preg_match('#\d+#', $output_part, $matches);
$first_integre= absint($matches[0]);
if (in_array($first_integre, $diabled_categories)) {
$findme = '>';
$pos = strpos($output_part, $findme);
$befor_first_occure = ($pos);
$insert_disable = ' disabled';
$output_part = substr_replace($output_part, $insert_disable, $befor_first_occure, 0);
}
if ($output_part === reset($output_parts)){
$output .= $output_part;
}  else {
$output .= 'value="'.$output_part;
}
}
return $output;
}
add_filter('wp_dropdown_cats', mosff_disable_parent_categories);

Great , you were totally right about that,
So the following code is working perfectly but it generates new dropdown menus instead of altering the existing one.
What do you think about that?

function mosff_disable_parent_categories($output) {
$diabled_categories = array(6,4);
$output_parts = explode('value="', $output);
foreach ($output_parts as $output_part) {
preg_match('#\d+#', $output_part, $matches);
$first_integre= absint($matches[0]);
if (in_array($first_integre, $diabled_categories)) {
$findme = '>';
$pos = strpos($output_part, $findme);
$befor_first_occure = ($pos);
$insert_disable = ' disabled';
$output_part = substr_replace($output_part, $insert_disable, $befor_first_occure, 0);
}
if ($output_part === reset($output_parts)){
$output .= $output_part;
}  else {
$output .= 'value="'.$output_part;
}
}
return $output;
}
add_filter('wp_dropdown_cats', mosff_disable_parent_categories);

No, I didn’t get any answer.

Thank you again for your time and your great explanation.I reach to this point and when execute the following code I get unexpected result.
Could you please tell me why that happened, and what should I do?

function mosff_disable_parent_categories($output) {

$disabled_categories = array(6,1);
$output_parts = explode('value="', $output);
$res = array();
foreach ($output_parts as $key => $string) {
preg_match('/^(?P<number>\d)/', $string, $match);
$res[$key] = absint($match['number']);

if (in_array($res[$key], $disabled_categories)) {
$findme = '>';
$pos = strpos($string, $findme);
$befor_first_occure = ($pos - 1);
$insert_disable = 'disabled';
$string = substr_replace($string, $insert_disable, $befor_first_occure, 0);
}
$output .= $string;
return $output;
}
}
add_filter('wp_dropdown_cats', mosff_disable_parent_categories);

Thank you for your reply,could you please tell me the guidelines on how can I do that or guide me to articles to help me do that?

This problem is solved in Jetpack version 2.9.2, when I told Jetpack team about it.
Thanks Jetpack team.

What can I do now ?
Any help please ?
