Hi all,
Im thinking of slimming down my categories (I have tons because I think I was mixing them up with what I read about tags. lol) and moving them into my nav bar, possibly with drop down lists.
Is there some code I have to use to move the widget, or a special way I need to create pages so they show categories?
thanks

Hi,

You can do create a page template and use custom quert to show category on that page.

Thanks,

Thankyou,
what is a custom quert?
And after I do that do I still need to have the category widget in the right sidebar?

Hi,

If you want to call a category widget then I think you have to use dynamic_sidebar() function.
Before using this function you have to register a sidebar and it’s ID should be pass in dynamic_sidebar(ID);

Hi Hilary – you should be able to put category items in the menu without doing any coding – just set up a custom menu and add category items –
