Of what use is making a sub-category?
Useful when hierarchical organization is appropriate for a specific application.
I thought subcategories would be visible only if you hover over or click on a category,
that can be set up, but requires some javascript or jQuery code
or display in a less prominent typeface.
That is done in the stylesheet.
the code will not make the change – it has to be tailored to your theme – its to demonstrate principle. subcats will typically be in a nested unordered list – that is, the parent is in a <ul><li> structure and the subcat is another <ul><li> within the parent’s <li> tag. the code below targets the inner li – the subcat
if the main sidebar div is sidebar, something like this
#sidebar li li a { font-size: 10px; }
will display the subcategory links in a smaller font size.
the subcat display can also be indented by adding this
#sidebar li li { padding-left: 10px; }
