The whole Trac Ticket thing is like reading Japanese to me, but I do appreciate you responding.

PS: I should have also said that new children are added to the parent categories constantly and to individually “exclude” each one would be a nightmare and tons of extra work. The depth=1 didn’t work for me, but then again, I could have put it in wrong.

I was interested in customizing the Nav bar. You can customize the Nav bar to use links instead of pages in the header by using the wp_list_categories function. For example:

<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&incude=16'); ?> <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&incude=27'); ?> <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&incude=28'); ?> <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&incude=31'); ?>

However, each of those parent categories listed has TONS of children and they obviously won’t fit in the Nav bar. I’ve basically given up that idea and just got over it.

Nope. I tried that. It still pulls all of the children into the Nav bar.

I’m not sure if anyone is still keeping up with this thread, but moshu, thank you for this! It’s just what I needed. My only question is how can I use your code and have the categories be alphabetized within the drop down? I know it’s something simple but I’m a little shaky with everything wordpress-related and I can’t seem to get it. I’ve read a million things on here and am getting more confused for something that is probably so simple to change. Any help would be appreciated!

Nevermind. I just read that plugin isn’t compatible. AWESOME.

Ok, now I have a huge problem. I followed all of vlaurie’s steps above and after importing the tables back, I get the following error:

#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ”O:9:”magpierss”:19:{s:6:”parser”;i:0;s:12:”current_item”;a:0:{}s:5:”items”;a:50′ at line 2

I really need some urgent help!!!!

vlaurie,

Thanks for your reply. I’m definitely willing to give this a try depsite being nervous (I’m not so good at the whole database thing). By deleting all of the wordpress files from my site, won’t that erase all of the existing posts? That’s not something I can do as I work with record labels and pr firms who count on those posts to remain where they are. Ugh. I just don’t get why this is happening with only one wordpress database and not the rest I have running.

Thanks for any help!

I meant to write “the_content” wasn’t duplicated. Whoops!

I’m having the same issue and I’m confused – my posts are duplicating on indiviual pages. I’m running 4 different wordpress databases, and it’s only happening for one. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what is happening. I’m running 2 plug ins, tried deactivating and tried swapping out the theme, no luck. I thought it could have something to do with the advertising on our sidebar and even swapped that around to no avail. I also checked that the_content was duplicated. (I’m confused about what the whole Loop thing is so I’m not sure what to do there…)

Website: Revolt

For example, the individual pages in our Reviews Section are posting twice, as you can see here. Yet in all of our other sections – News, Interviews, Guest Editorials – they are posting just fine, as you can see here.

If anyone can offer any help, I’d appreciate it.
