   I want to break up my Category links into different sections. For example, I have 5 links under “Categories” which are Football, Baseball, Basketball, Weight Training, and Running. Instead of having all these under the “Categories” heading I would like to break them up as below. Is this possible to do?

   Sports (This would be a heading not a link)
   - Football
   - Baseball
   - Basketball

   Training (This would be a heading not a link)
   - Weight Training
   - Running

   yes.

   Make 'Sports' and 'Training' normal categories.

   Make 'Football', 'Baseball', and 'Basketball' sub-categories of 'Sports' .. so on.

   You can do all of that in your manage > Categories screen.

   Its a little backward, as you assign parents, rather than children, but you'll get the drift once you look.

   I would like Sports and Training not to be links. I would like them to be Headings like the current default "Categories" Heading.

   do you want them as categories also? or no? Just headers? it makes a difference.

   You can exclude categories from showing and you can use wp_list_cats more than once.

   See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_cats

   If you dont want those top 2 items to be categories ALSO, then I would just hardcode that into your sidebar or wherever your using it, and call wp_list_cats twice using the options to display what you want.

   I didnt think about hard coding the categories. This is a good idea. I will just add the links and heading to the side bar. Thanks for your help!
