    I am a developer and I need to know if the design of my client can be done with your plugin. The client’s design is like this:
    – Dropdown with categories
    – After selecting a category, it groups the entries in that category by subcategories
    – Each subcategory is collapsed until clicked on

    I’m assuming I will use jQuery for that last option since it’s essentially an accordion, but can your plugin support the rest that I’ve described?

    RE: Dropdown with categories

    All of the premium templates support a category dropdown, though some have the feature off by default.

    RE: After selecting a category, it groups the entries in that category by subcategories … Each subcategory is collapsed until clicked on

    This would have to be custom coded. The challenge with such a feature is that the children categories can have children of their own. Like core WordPress categories, there is no “hard” limit to the category descendants beyond what is reasonable to maintain. The issue with this; is how the category grouping is handled when many ancestor categories may have to be dealt with.

    As an alternative, I would like to suggest using the Enhanced Categories addon instead.

    It can be set up to display only the parent categories, and when you click one of those parent categories, only their direct children will be displayed. The Entries list below would be updated to display only the Entries within the currently selected category.

    I hope this helps; please let me know.
