    Hi there,
    Great plugin – really like it but either I am not configuring it properly or it seems to be missing sometthing…

    When I set up FAQ’s in categories and subcategories, when you click on the main category it shows all the FAQ’s for all the subcategories below it…and then shows the subcategories with their FAQ’s

    Is there a way to get the categories to just show the titles of the subcategories until clicked?

    And delving a bit deeper – it would great to be able to use sub – sub categories and have settings for these as well.

  • Hi Tim,

    Unfortunately there are no options for subcategories to be nested in categories.

    Each category and subcategory will show as a top level item when you have “Group by Category” enabled.

    Here’s a possible workaround:

    You can put a normal text heading (and give it a top category name), followed by a UFAQ shortcode with the include_category attribute using a subcategory slug.

    For example:

    <h1>Fruits</h1>

[ultimate-faqs include_category="Apples"]
[ultimate-faqs include_category="Oranges"]

<h1>Vegetables</h1>

[ultimate-faqs include_category="Spinach"]
[ultimate-faqs include_category="Cucumbers"]

    In the above example: Apples, Oranges…etc are all subcategory slug names.

    That’s a real shame!
    That would have been the selling point for me, I would happily have bough the premium version but without subcategories it doesn’t fit to the client specification unfortunately. Perhaps it is something you might look at adding in the future.

    I’ve requested this functionality as well. I found a workaround as my main categories are fairly static. To be more accurate, My top level categories are per/page, the 2nd level are toggles and the 3rd are the actual FAQs in most cases.

    I added css to the built-in Toggle Buttons in my WP Theme (jupiter from artbees) to make them look like the uFAQ categories, then created a column of toggle buttons with shortcode for the subcategory in each toggle.
