wp_list_categories shows children of children

    Hello

    I’ve just upgraded a site i’m working on from 2.0 to 2.1. I use a number of categories and sub categories and sub sub categories, and have noticed that 2.1 behaves differently from 2.0 in relation to these.

    I was using the list_cats function in 2.0 like this

    <?php list_cats(TRUE, '', 'name', '', '', TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, 82, '0', FALSE, '', '', '', TRUE); ?>

    Which showed only children of category 82, and not any children of the child categories. Since upgrading however all child – child categories are also showing.

    Anyone know a way to get around this?? I’ve tried the wp_list_categories function for 2.1 but it doesn’t look like it will help.

    Cheers
    Matt

    Use wp_list_categories and add the categories you don’t want to see to the exclude option.

    That could work… but I use WP as a CMS and want my clients to be able to add categories at the lowest level from time to time. Therefore I was hoping to have it done dynamically, as it did in 2.0.

    It would seem a shame for a nice feature like this to disappear in a new ‘improved’ version.

    Unfortunately, the changes to the way categories work have eliminated this feature for the time being. Perhaps it’ll be in an update or somebody will come up with a fix. Stay tuned, and be patient.

    i think i got something to work
    download and install this plugin
    http://braydon.com/unfold_list_categories.zip

    to only show 1 level of categories use this:
    <?php unfold_list_categories(‘depth=1&hierarchical=1’); ?>

    in place of this:
    <?php wp_list_categories(); ?>

    let me know if it works for you… it worked for me but it was sort of by accident i think
