    Hi! thanks for your support. Is there a way to have categories in categories?
    for example:

    Lighting equipment (category)
    +strobe flash lights(sub-category)
    ++profoto brand lights(sub-sub-category) “how do you attach the profoto adapter?”
    +constant lights
    ++arri lights (how do you not burn the screen?)

    I like the idea of sorting by category.

    Thanks!

    Hi Adam,

    Since the FAQs are a custom post type, you can create sub-categories and assign posts to them. However, on the front end, sub-categories are treated just like categories. So, if you have “Group FAQs by Category” enabled, the sub-categories will show at the same level as the parent categories, not nested.

    Hi Adam,

    To clarify, if you have “Group FAQs by Category” (in Settings->Ordering) set to YES, then the categories/subcategories will display, but will appear at the same level like this:

    Lighting equipment
    + Question 1
    + Question 2
    + Question 3

    Strobe flash lights
    + Question 4
    + Question 5
    + Question 6
    + Question 7

    Profoto brand lights
    + Question 8
    + Question 9
    + Question 10

    Constant lights
    + Question 11
    + Question 12

    Arri lights
    + Question 13
    + Question 14

    If “Group FAQs by Category” is set to NO, the questions will display in a list without any category names, like this:

    + Question 1
    + Question 2
    + Question 3
    + Question 4
    + Question 5
    + Question 6
    + Question 7
    + Question 8
    + Question 9
    + Question 10
    + Question 11
    + Question 12
    + Question 13
    + Question 14
