A Question about Categories

Published by michaelnolan at 6:00 am under Questions Edit This

Answerman, I have a question about the Categories.  I set them up so that they are nested, with Parent categories and then categories that go underneath the Parents.When I write a post, the checklist for the Categories shows up as nested, but on the published blog itself, the list is flat — all of the Categories, whether they are Parent categories or lower-level ones, show up on the same level, in alphabetical order.

Is there any way I can change this so that the Categories list displayed on the pubished blog shows up in nested form?

I’m using the default template, in case that makes a difference.

Thanks, Answerman!

Ms. Terri,

Unfortunately, the problem you are describing is related specifically to the design of the theme itself, and is a common one among many (if not most) of the themes that are currently available.  I have tested several of them myself after receiving your question.

I am going to continue to look into this issue further and see what can about it in the future, but for now I’m afraid to say that it is just something we are going to have to deal with for the time being.

The good news is that at least the categories show up alphabetically so they appear to have some semblance of organization even if it is not sub-categorized the way you intended.

    I also have a quick question. With the more widgets you have, does it make your pages load slower on this system database. It could just be my service, as I have been having trouble with Charter.
