I would also be interested in this feature…

the closest thing I could find was:
Role Manager

while being very powerful it doesn’t quite solve my problems

that does make more sense… thank you again for your time

Otto,

Thanks for your reply! I’ve almost solved my problem ?? now all I need is some styling and a pesky more link… Is there a cleaner way to do this?

<?php
$categories = get_categories("title_li=&orderby=name&hide_empty=0&child_of=5");
foreach ((array) $categories as $cat) {
$cat_link = '<h2 class="subhead1"><a href="' . get_category_link($cat->cat_ID) . '" title="' . sprintf(__("View all posts in %s"), $cat->cat_name) . '" ' . $rel . '>' . $cat->cat_name.'</a></h2>';
?>
<p><?php echo $cat_link . '' . $cat->category_description; ?></p>

The code I was trying to work with…

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=10
&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of=5'); ?> <?php echo category_description(5); ?>

while this does list the categories… and the second part lists the description… they dont work together… I think I should be using a template but dont know where to start

What I think Root was trying to say… but couldnt find the words to do it decently or explain why… Is that if you dont have a decent amount of content on your homepage. It wont get indexed properly.

I think you should lose the landing page have the first page of the site be

having a great time having a conversation with myself… ultimately?

I decided on this… as I dont want the navigation to change when visiting sub pages…

<?php
if($post->post_parent == 0)
{
wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->ID.”&show_date=modified&date_format=$date_format&location=sidebar&sort_column=menu_order”);
}
else
{
wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->post_parent.”&show_date=modified&date_format=$date_format&location=sidebar&sort_column=menu_order”);
}
?>

hopefully this will help someone

This worked even better to suit my needs!

<?php
    wp_list_pages("child_of=".$post->post_parent."&sort_column=menu_order&depth=3&title_li=");

?>

I was able to solve it with:

<?php
wp_list_pages("child_of=".$post->ID."&sort_column=menu_order&depth=3&title_li=");
?>

but im not sure thats the best solution…
