 * Hi,
 * Is it not possible to create “sub-forums”?
 * For example – lets say I’ve got a forum for sports
    Then I want my visitors to
   be able to choose “Tennis” then “Rackets” to discuss different rackets.
 * Using categories is not really helping anything at all since it a “level up” 
   and not a level down.

 * Hi [@jdahlbom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdahlbom/)
 * Could you clarify what do you mean ““level up” and not a level down.”?
 * You could use your own logic for forums and customize templates.
    For example,
   there is a hook ‘fmwp_cpt_list’ where you may set a hierarchical structure for
   forums CPT.
 *     ```
       add_filters( 'fmwp_cpt_list', 'my_custom_cpt', 10, 1 );
       function my_custom_cpt( $cpt ) {
       $cpt['fmwp_forum']['hierarchical'] = true;
       return $cpt;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if that makes the sense,
    Best Regards!

 * Hi,
 * I have exactly the same question. I don’t know what is the sense of categories
   in the forums…
