In 1.2 I had two areas of categories: one a list of genres (comedy, drama, etc.) and one a list of letters of the alphabet, so that you could search on either. I used the ‘child_of’ option to sort them into the two sublists, but, with the same code, that no longer works. The parent of the alphabetical categories had ID 10: * * …and this now lists all the entries, not just those under ID 10. Having said that, they are alphabetical! * Could it be changes in the version of php required? Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total)
