   Hello,

   what's the best way to get the categories and sub-categories (in their hierarchy) into the TwentyTen menu?

   I know, since WordPress 3.0 you can build your own menus, but if you have 200+ categories (please don't ask ;-)) it's not your first choice.

   Do I need to use wp_list_categories() and style it from scratch to match the TwentyTen style or is there a simpler way?

   Kind regards
   Hugo

   Don't edit the Twenty Ten theme. Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

   Thanks for the hint, but what about the actual question?

   You'd need to build a custom callback for wp_nav_menu.

   Assuming that the menu should only represent the category hierarchy, how exactly has the custom callback to look like?

   Download a copy of the ZenLite theme and see how the category callback has been created in that theme.

   Can't see wp_nav_menu() there.

   Try looking in sidebar.php

   Well, it seems to be more complicated than I hoped. :-(
