If you look at my url. http://www.creativepartyblog.com, on the left hand nav bar, there is a main category entitled, "Party Themes." Is it possible to have another one below?

Have you tried creating a new top level category?

Posted 2 years ago #That's what I want to do but can't figure out where or how to do it.

Posted 2 years ago #Yes. I figured that out. To me that is not a top level category. If you look at the URL above, I consider a top level category you see entitled "Party Themes". And then if you add a category through admin/posts/cat you only get another category in the list below. Or am I missing something there?

If you want something like:
party-themes/mario/
make the new (Mario) category a child of Party themes.

Posted 2 years ago #I got it. I understand that I can make more subcategories of "Party Themes." What I want is an additional main category heading. So, I want
http://www.creativepartyblog.com/Breakout-of-ideas/
in addition the existing
http://www.creativepartyblog.com/party-themes/
I'm not sure of the technical verbage so I may not be making sense.
Actually when I'm looking at the URL it's creativepartyblog.com/category/
Does this mean that I can not have more than one main category that acts like the "party themes" and "pages" that is currently there?

So, I want http://www.creativepartyblog.com/Breakout-of-ideas/ in addition the existing http://www.creativepartyblog.com/party-themes/
Then, as I said, create the new category using Admin/Posts/Categories and ensure that the Category Parent is left as "none". That's a top level category.

Yes.

Posted 2 years ago #I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I set up a Category Name with no category Parent and it just looks like a sub category to my top level category of "party Themes".
This is what it looks like in my category edits

Party Themes
* Cakes
* Decorations
* Favors & Hats
* Fire Truck Birthday Party
* Invitations
* Locations
* Misc.
* Theme Ideas
* UncategorizedThe way I set it up it should be:
/birthday-party-breakdowns/cakes
and then
/theme-ideas/fire-truck-birthday-party
But as you can see above all the categories end up under the original "Party Themes."
Could there be a glitch with the template I'm using?
