  • Hi Oyst,

    welcome to the wordpress support forums and have fun blogging!

    The description of your problem is quite confusing. Can you give a more simple example? Do you want to create a hierachy of categories (parent and child categories) or what?

    Well take a look at my site and you will see my problem: https://www.jokeaddicts.com basically i want the news catagory under main widget and the jokes catagories under the joke widget. Currently there being post under main and jokes.

    Thanks for your time!

    With the standard category widget, this option is not available.

    You might consider editing your themes sidebar using the list_categories(); function.

    But instead of modifying your theme you can extend wordpress with a PHP Textwidget sothat you can put that function in there:

    <ul>
<?php
    wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=1
&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=6&hide_empty=0&&title_li=');
?>
</ul>

    This Example Code Lists all Subcategories of the Category with the ID 6.

    Example Screenshot of using the Widget of the Plugin.

    I hope this information is usefull to you.
