    Okay. I got rid of the buttons completely and use

    • menus defined in css.

    Hopefully, it doesn’t now jump all over the place if you are not using a ‘proper’ browser πŸ™‚

    Thanks vavroom, I wasn’t even aware that padding applied to anchors; I thought it was only for display containers such as <tables> and <div>. I am still not entirely clear but I may have a tinker.

    I must admit, I only know the vagueries of html/css. I am only really interested in making the content available. The fact that it looks and behaves differently in different browsers is just an irritation that I can’t really be bothered with – I am not web-designer… that’s why I use wordpress to save me having to be πŸ˜‰

    Okay, I added:
    <div align=center style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px”>

    I am not sure if this has had the desired effect. I know I should probably look at it in lots of different browsers and mess around until it looks right in all of them but I just can’t be bothered!

    IE6/IE7 accounts for the vast majority of visits.

    I don’t quite understand the point about the hover bouncing the page?! I don’t see any funny effect. I must admit, I have only looked at it in IE7.

    I just discovered BBPress so have added a forum which was pretty painless.

    Everything is fixed now on both fronts.

    Thanks for reading.

    I am aware that this request comes up many times in search but no solution has ever been suggested so I ask in hope that a recent solution has been found.

    It would also be nice to have categories in sections
    eg.
    Category One
    Sub-category One
    Sub-category Two
    Sub-category Three

    Category Two
    Sub-category One
    Sub-category Two
    Sub-category Three

    … would appreciate any pointers to plugins / hacks.

    Both seem slightly strange omissions.

    I wish this would get fixed too. It has been reported many times for RC1/RC2/RC3. It is the main reason I keep checking for a new update in hope. It is the simplest mechanism for organising a site and means constant annoying trips to phpmyadmin.

    I don’t want to sound ungrateful because I really have been grateful for WordPress, but given that 2.5 renders so many plug-ins useless, it is a wasted opportunity.

    I like that the editor can now be toggled full-screen but generally, there seems to be SO much wasted space.

    It definitely feels that categories should be to the right of the edit area… it seems a lonnggg way down. Especially seeing as to the right is the massive published status area, which I am sure would fit into 32 pixels square, and the publish date where any attempts to change it are completely ignored any way.

    I am still a WordPress fan but it is definitely one steps forwards two steps back.

    Correction to my last post.

    Solution found at:

    Terrific Justin, many thanks.

    One very small change:
    $exclusions .= ‘ AND term_ID <> ‘ . intval($excat) . ‘ ‘;

    needs to be amended to:
    $exclusions .= ‘ AND t.term_ID <> ‘ . intval($excat) . ‘ ‘;

    to make this parameter work.

    Is there any way of hiding sub-cateories except when its parent is selected? I have played with the parameters to wp_list_categories without success.

    Also, is it possible to only show posts in a category without also showing all posts in all child categories too.

    I have many sub-categories but these two problems make it look an unmanageable mess.

    I can’t find a plug-in or hack for v2.3.1.

    Yes, but can you prevent sub-cateogries from showing except when the parent is selected? I couldn’t see how so the whole category list looks a very long mess.

    I have played with the list_cats() parameters to no avail. Neither can I find a plug-in for v2.3

    I would love to hear that it is my stupidity and that it IS possible after all!!
