    Im trying to change my new post categories check boxes to only show the deepest level of children(no parent cats). I see this function on line 339 of /wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php

    <?php wp_terms_checklist($post->ID, array( 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'popular_cats' => $popular_ids ) ) ?>

    but there’s no depth $arg or anything like it according to the codex.

    Anyone have any ideas? Thx!

    I’m unaware of any terms or category function that would easily return only the deepest children. The only way I know of to get such results is to extend the Walker class to go through the entire structure and collect all terms that have no children. You can then create a new object based on this and pass it to wp_terms_checklist() or wp_category_checklist() to have it output the categories you want.

    Thats what I was worried about.. So much for being a lazy programmer. :'(
