Too Many Categories – Please Help!

    Hello,

    My site is http://www.comicnerd.com. Comic Books are reviewed, and when listing comic books, I often assign comic titles, writers, publishers and illustrators for each comic. Over time I have accumulated a TON of categories doing this and it is just clogging up the page.

    I have seen only a couple plugins that puts categories in a JS drop-down or the like – but I am concerned about the SEO impact this will make on the page.

    Does anyone have any solution suggestions to decongest my sidebar and show the categories more intelligently?

    Here are a couple I found – any suggestions?

    WPdTree
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dtree-30/

    ( I am concerned about the SEO problem with putting all categories in JS )

    Advanced Category Excluder
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-category-excluder/

    Does anyone have any experience using these? Which would be best to cut down on the size of my category block???

    I really need help here! I am worried if I cut down categories by collapsing them under parent categories, my search engine placement will be borked.

    Please help!!!

    This is the second time you have posted the same exact question, weeks apart. You were given suggestions before, I believe. If you choose not to do anything with them … that is a volunteers fault?

    YOU created all the categories. Take a paper and pencil and reorganize what you really need then incorporate that into your site.

    OR … do a search on PHP to see if you can find a different solution.

    Yeah – life in general sucks – especially when you don’t get an answer in 22 hours.

    comicnerd,

    Use this plugin. I found it last night and it works very well with WP 2.7.

    Saurus, try not getting an answer in 3 weeks.

    The answer I got was obvious, and not in accordance with what I asked; so it wasn’t really an answer was it?

    Funny, though, how being negative brings out the replies.

    And thanks jgarcia, it looks like it works like ACE.

    Yeah – with something you could have found very easily by yourself with just a little effort and less attitude. Good luck with that.
