 * When I create a parent category, and then a child category, why is it displaying
   both on my screen? I inserted the shortcode [qafp] as I was instructed, and I
   thought that it would list the main categories and then the child with the child’s
   topics. In the FAQ categories, I only chose the child for the actual FAQ, not
   both. On my screen I am seeing this now:
    G Data To Move the Management Server
   To Backup Your Management Server G Data Management Server To Move the Management
   Server To Backup Your Management Server
 * How do I fix this?

 * [qafp] will add EVERYTHING. Try specifying the category that you want to show.

 * I do want everything to show. I just don’t see why posts classified as part of
   a sub-category are also being shows under the main category. I have 5 main categories
   that I want to display, and each has a handful of sub-categories with FAQs under
   them. When you display all, shouldn’t the posts just reside under the sub-category,
   and not be displayed under the main and the sub?

 * There is no such thing as a sub-category in QAFP. You can have categories with
   questions in them and that is it. I am not sure how you are setting up sub-categories
   and would have to see the FAQ on your page to understand and see the problem 
   for myself.

 * Unfortunately I can’t send you to the page, as it is in a restricted site. Here
   is what I did. When you go into the FAQ categories, you can choose a parent category
   for the one that you just created. [Screenshot](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24789136/faqcategories.png)
   Then I created FAQs using the child category, as I want to organize them by software
   brand, then use the child categories to actually manage how they are organized.
   When I added this subcategory, in my mind it should only flag the post to only
   show up under the one category that I chose. [Screenshot](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24789136/categorychoice.png)
   I put the QAFP shortcode as I do want everything to show up, but it is putting
   the posts that are assigned to the child category as part of the parent as well.
   [Screenshot](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24789136/faqpage.png). I just
   want to know how to fix this so when it is in a child category, it only will 
   show up under the child.
