WordPress.org

Author: Robert Felty

This is a very simple plugin that uses Javascript to form a collapsable set of links in the sidebar for the categories. Every post corresponding to a given category will be expanded.

CSS Class changes

Version 1.1 introduces different css classes to the collapsing categories and posts, which should make it easier to style in the future, and more consistent across my other collapsing plugins Please see below for an explanation of the css classes

IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding wordpress 2.7 and 2.8

Version 1.+ is compatible with wordpress 2.8+, but not compatible with prior versions. If you are using wordpress 2.7.1 or earlier, please use collapsing categories version 0.9.9.

If you prefer to insert code into your theme manually instead of using widgets, please note that the manual installation instructions have changed.
