   Hi,
   I have been trying to stop the sub catagories showing on the parent catagory
   I have tried editing my archive.php to add the code
   <? if ((is_category()) && in_category($wp_query->get_queried_object_id())) { ?>

   but the log just keeps saying unexpected ;
   and i cant seem to get it to work
   the code is from this site
   lonewolf

   and the page i am trying to remove sub catagories from is
   page

   any ideas would be really helpfull as I am really struggling.

   Ian

   Thanks for that idea, I tried it and it is currently running on the linked page but it doesnt seem to take effect (i suspect that the Arjuna X theme is messing it up)

   any other ideas :)

   thank you.

   Look at the "style posts differently" in the article The Loop and use something like that in your Category Templates.

   I have read that information but it does not practically help me. thank you for the help but I need something less general.

   Does anyone know of a SIMPLE solution or sample code to help?

   thank you

   I still can't believe the URL structure is weak in WordPress.

   For various purposes I don't need to list, all I want is for the posts of every category's URL to show up as mysite.tld/category/postname/ and not mysite.tld/category/subcategory/postname/ as I don't really need it. This is especially the case if the post is part of the main category, like I have it. There should be some method of having a post keeping a primary category so that the URL structure is based off of that category.
