I probably wasted your time in the other thread. Apologies. After reviewing it, i do have one quick clarifying question: Are you talking Categories as in what posts are assigned to or Link Categories?
No apologies necessary. Thank u for just responding.
Sigh…I’m not sure anymore. =P
K, lemme try and explain one more time:
Using the default theme, one has a “Categories” section. I can easily create categories with WordPress and an example of the result would be:
Categories
* C#
* C++/CLI
* Maya 7
* Unrealscript
* Conceptual art
However, I’d rather have “Categories” renamed to something like this:
Programming
* C#
* C++/CLI
* Unrealscript
And then have another “Categories” section, perhaps something like this:
Graphics
* Maya 7
* Conceptual art
I guess it would be categories and *not* link categories…
Ok, fair ’nuff. 🙂
Categories CAN have sub-categories (or, the way they are represented in the Admin Category management area, Categories can have Parent categories). So, I’m back to my earlier suggestion: Have one category list in the side bar, but use hierarchical=1 to get them to group up in a nice outline form. Depending on your theme and CSS, they’ll layout in a nice indented outline fashion.
Ok, I’ve tried that and updated the site. A couple of minor points now.
1) Unless the post “foo” is assigned to *both* “C#” and “Programming” it doesn’t show up.
2) I’d like the Programming link to display a different page.
Perfect example:
http://managedtasks.com/wpthemes/blog/index.php?wptheme=Almost+Spring
The link ‘ThemeCompetition’ displays a different page than the sub-link ‘Question’.
True. If you have something in foo, and you also want it to be seen in the listing for Programming, you’d assign it to the parent and the child when writing the post.
I’m pretty sure that the example is doing just that. Click on “Theme Competition” and notice how some of those posts are in multiple categories? Those “multiples” are child cats.
Yes, but under ‘Questions’ a post is named ‘Creating a Drop-in Ready Theme’.
On the ‘ThemeCompetition’ page there is no post about ‘Creating a Drop-in Ready Theme’. Even tho ‘Questions’ is a child of ‘ThemeCompetition’.
How do i remove my post ‘foo’ from Programming, without losing the C# link?
Oh wait. It’s in a previous entry…duh. I guess u can’t do that.
Thx for all ur help. I’ll just give up now and accept it for what it is =)
