Display only subcategories of a category and not sub-subcategories

Question

I have next code and i cant get it to list only the subcategories of a category and not sub-subcategories of the category.

I think the problem is the next line

    'hierarchical' => 0,

Do you know what can be the problem or what should i add in the next code to fix for what i want.

I've set it to 1 to 0, and nothing changes. This is a custom theme for a directory.

<?php // Get variables

global $def_cat_style;

$get_id_parent_cat = get_term_by( 'slug', $company_category, 'company_category' );

$args = array(

    'child_of' => $get_id_parent_cat->term_id ,

    'parent' => get_query_var(''),

    'orderby' => 'name',

    'order' => 'ASC',

    'hide_empty' => 0,

    'hierarchical' => 0,

    'taxonomy' => 'company_category',

    'pad_counts' => true );

$categories = get_categories($args);

?>

Thank you.

Answer 1

I would do something like this:

$categories = get_categories($args);
foreach ($categories as $category){
    if ($category->parent != $get_id_parent_cat->term_id){
        //Do stuff with the category
    }
}
