Disable parent items with children in a hierarchical Dropdown facet

<?php

// Add to your (child) theme's functions.php
// Disables parent options that have children, in a hierarchical Dropdown facet
// Change 'yourdropdownfacetname' to the name of your dropdown facet
// The code selects parent options with children, which are options that do *not* start with spaces (all children do start with spaces), and adds a 'disabled' attribute to them
// This works only for hierarchies that are one level deep: only top level parents will be disabled.
// It also excludes the 'Any' option

add_action( 'wp_head', function() { ?>
