How Can I Show Subcategories on Top Level

    Hi, as you probably know, the forums only show the “top level” categories, however, I want them to show the sub categories and topics within the “top Level” categories as well.

    Here’s an example..
    (C) = Top Level Category
    (T) = Topic
    (S) = Subcategory

    Welcome! (C)
...Description here...
> Forum Rules (T) (TITLE ONLY, NO PREVIEW)
> Newbies Lounge (S)
> News & Updates (S)

    I would like the topics to be shown on top of the subcategories and with no preview to the topic, just the titles like above, how would I go about achieving this?

    I would suggest you take a look at this one Will do what your looking for.

    Hi, I tried the pro version but didn’t like the look and feel of it.

    Compared to this one it just seemed a little bland…
    Plus you have to pay for just about everything on it…

    Surely I could achieve what I want without the “Pro” version and via functions or css?

    Actually it (WPS PRO)is made the WordPress way and you make it how you want it.

    You probably can do what your looking for as you stated above. Let us know the outcome as to what you achieved.

    Yes, I get that but it should be easier to just do this 1 thing with this version rather than have to change everything with the pro version..?

    Also, on the forums, the side widgets keep randomly deciding if they want to be placed correctly or drop below…

    apart from this and the subcategory thing I want, this plugin is perfect for my needs and is 100% better than what I used to use (bbpress & buddypress with multiple other plugins)

    alls I’m asking for is a simple bit of code to achiev what I’m looking for…

    Thanks.

    WE are releasing a new update for WPS 14.05.1 that will fix the sidebar display. YOU can have sub cat as well they just do not display on the maim forum, page as you said. right now we are not adding any more features to WPS as we want it to be a stable release for a while.

    OK, so is it possible to get a bit of code from you that I can achieve what I wanted in the original query or not?

    I already know I can have subcategories, I have some..
    What I was looking for is to be able to display them via their parent categories..

    also, when is the release coming?

    Cheers.

    Hi,

    This should be possible to do for you, WPS as compared to WPS Pro is not so easy to hook into, but this is an option that could be coded in.

    I know it’s cheeky, but could you email [email protected] with a made up screenshot (doesn’t have to be “designed”) so I can be sure it looks similar to your request?

    Thanks,
    Simon

    As this isn’t a support question, we should not really discuss on here (new is not for www.remarpro.com forums). We can continue via your email with the screenshot offline, thanks.

    Any news on this..?

    still not heard a reply via email or here..
    Would be grateful to get the code to be able to show subcategories in their parent categories.

    It’s a fantastic plugin and I am considering buying a membership but if I cant get this code then I may have to look at some other plugin options as an alternative… (sorry)

    Thanks sicky_brazz, I’ll re-check [email protected] emails in case it dropped into spam as don’t recall seeing it. I’ll leave this ticket open in the meantime, apologies if it did and we didn’t reply. ??

    We’ve found the email, sorry, my fault. I’m on leave for a week from early next week, so will try and look at how this can be before, or if I don’t get time, when I get back.

    I understand the screenshot, thank you ??

    OK, no problem, thanks for the fast replies.

    I look forward to hearing back and having this sorted.

    Thanks again for such a great plugin.

    Reviewing my screenshot, is it possible to only show the title of “sticky” topics in the parent category as opposed to showing all the topics with the author and time of post.

    The author, time of post and none sticky topics will still need to be shown when your in the same level as the topic, just not when in the parent level if this makes sense?

    Also, I would still like to show the categories that requires higher than “Subscriber” to view but them but then have a message or redirect on the page when they click instead of just not showing the category at all.

    Sorry for messing you about but this would top it all off and I would no doubt buy a membership as a result.

    I’ll do my best to accommodate you ?? I have to think of all WPS sites, so can’t guarantee everything, but hopefully enough to satisfy!
