I also am interested in solution to this problem. I wasn’t able to find any plugin either..
Hope someone replies.
i really hope someone finds a solution to this problem š
will check it out, thank you
hmm, still can’t figure out how and where to use this parameter in order to change the way posts in categories are displayed, wp_list_categories() is the only place i found you can put the parameter but that just shows a list of my categories and i need to change the way posts are showed in a category, i also tried changing category.php and category-template.php but can’t make it work š
You need to review Category Templates.
But just switch to the WordPress Default theme and watch what happens when you click on a ‘parent’ category that is displayed in the sidebar. If you are using widgets make sure the Category widget is included in the sidebar.
And just as a note, by WordPress standards, ANY category that has been designated a Parent category is not meant to be checked in the category hierarchy when writing posts. Meaning, only the latest generation category should be checked. Think of it like this, only the youngest generation gets the action.
It’s okay to have multiple categories assigned a post, as long as the other categories are not designated as parents.
from what i got, i changed Archives Page Template (archives.php) which has the <?php wp_list_categories; ?> and added the depth=1 and hierarchy=true parameters, that didn’t do anything, meaning all the posts from the subcategories were still present in the main category, and i have only the subcategory checked.
and for some reason all categories i create as a subcategory like if i have ‘stuff>some’ don’t show in the url like ‘www.my.com/stuff/you’ (this url shows not found) but like ‘www.my.com/you’, although if i post something in ‘you’ the post has this url ‘www.my.com/stuff/you/post’, i really am at a loss here?!
ok, thank you for your time, will check these
“Just One Category” plugin is exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately it breaks the recent posts widget on the sidebar for some reason, is there a way to fix this?
From what I read in the Codex about Permalinks, nested categories show up as archives only in the main URI of the blog, is there some plugin that makes category structure show up like it is in the posts? what i mean is if i make the subcategory “swing” in the category “jazz”, and post “armstrong” in “swing” > this gives me the url http://www.blog.com/jazz/swing/armstrong but if i go to http://www.blog.com/jazz/swing/ i get “Not Found” the “swing” category is nested in main blog URI ie http://www.blog.com/swing/ which is kind of illogical. so is there some plugin that sets this structure right?
That is great, exactly what I needed. “Just One Category” plugin
I was using categories as a navigational query, and all the post from the subcategories would show up if I clicked on the parent. Now I can select each individually. Also, I am able to select multiple categories for the post, so it will show up in each of the sub categories…if I prefer. No problems with the recent posts…WP-2.92, Before I had been using the plugin “page links to” to navigate to certain areas or external areas.
