Code
$wpide_taxonomies = array( 'genre', 'location' ); // Taxonomy keys.
add_filter( 'pll_get_taxonomies', function ( $taxonomies, $is_settings ) use ( $wpide_taxonomies ) {
foreach ( $wpide_taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
if ( $is_settings ) {
unset( $taxonomies[ $taxonomy ] );
} else {
$taxonomies[ $taxonomy ] = $taxonomy;
}
}
return $taxonomies;
}, 10, 2 );Notes
