Hierarchical category filters hidden with wpsolr_hide by default

    I have just set up wpsolar to index a list of articles I have on my site. A key part of this is being able to filter based on the hierarchy of categories the article belongs to.

    If I turn off the “Show the hierarchy” option in configuration section 2.4 Filter, the hierarchical categories become serialized into a list and all get displayed.

    However, if I turn on “Show the hierarchy,” only the top-level categories are displayed, and I have no mechanism for displaying the sub-categories. Looking at the html, I do see that they are there as li elements, but the property wpsolr_hide sets them to display: none.

    I am using a custom theme that’s not the Directory+ theme (that’s not going to work for my purposes). Is this the reason that a UI widget to expand the hierarchy is not present?

    I don’t actually want the hierarchy to require expansion, I would rather it always be expanded. It’s possible I can achieve this by overriding the wpsolr_hide rule, but this seems weird.

    I may end up breaking up my categories into separate facets, in which case this could become a moot issue for me. However, I’m still confused as to why I’m not able to disclose the child nodes in the filter hierarchy. Thanks for your help!

    Hierarchies are part of the advanced facets layouts, that are activated in the add-on “Theme”:
