How to only show parent categories in sidebar

  • How to only show parent categories in sidebar?

    But also when browsing posts, to show all the subcategories of the parent category the current post is in, showing the hierarchy. the other parent categories will also be displayed, but only the one that the post is in will reveal the subcategories.

    So basically show the subcategories of a parent category only when viewing a post in that parent category.

    thanks

    example:

    on single.php
for example, if there are 3 parent categories, with subcategories:

Fruits (parent)
 Apples
 Plums
Veggies (parent)
 Tomatoes
 Onions
Nuts (parent)
 Peanuts
 Almonds

if the post is in subcategory Apples, the sibear should show:

Fruits
 Apples
 Plums
Veggies
Nuts 

if the post is in subcategory Almonds, the sibear should show:

Fruits
Veggies
Nuts
 Peanuts
 Almonds

on anything else (index, category pages) sidebar should only show parent categories, no subcategory.
