Hiding Sub-Categories

Post by fourd5dswb »

Hello. Is there anyway to hide the sub-categories in the category view? As of now, when you add a sub-category it shows up in the category view and looks like a parent category. Thanks.

Hi!

Usually, sub-categories should show up intended. Can you show your URL where those look like a parent category?

Currently the category plugin can be configured a lot to show specific sub-categories only, but there is no config switch to only show top-level categories (because you would then never see sub-categories).

So I believe the proper way would be to see why your sub-category is not indented.

Hiding Sub-Categories

Post by fourd5dswb »

My URL is www.prowlser.com.

If you look on the right side of the page you will see the categories. Under the "MySpace Layouts & Tutorials" category is the "Actor Layouts" category. The way that it appears on the page it looks like a parent category. Is there a way to hide all sub-categories so that you have to actually click on the parent category before you see the child categories?

Thanks.

Hi!

You could try to edit your style.css file of the template you're using, and insert this:

Code: Select all

.category_depth1 a {
 padding-left: 12px !important;
}
This will increase the indention of subcategories of the first level from 6px to 12px.

Another idea is to also indent the XML and checkboxes as well:

Code: Select all

.category_depth1 {
  padding-left: 12px !important;
}

After you saved the change, remember to reload your browser's cache.
