 * Hi there,
 * I have put on the category widget on the sidebar.
 * I wanted it to show just the parent categories and have all the sub-categories
   in a drop down menu.
 * If I add anew category as a child category of another it just shows all of the
   categories as if they were parents.
 * I wanted something like this:
 * Pro Players
    —Neil Channing (child of Pro Players) —James Akenhead (child of 
   Pro Players) —Dave Ulliot (child of Pro Players)
 * but it is just showing as:
 * Pro Players
    Neil Channing James Akenhead Dave Ulliot
 * Tried FoCal but it didn’t work at all.
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * Site is at [http://www.pokerblackbelt.co.uk](http://www.pokerblackbelt.co.uk)
 * Thanks. 🙂
