• I don’t know why this is so difficult, but I just want to order my categories in a specific way. Here’s my site: https://www.theappleblog.com

    Right now it seems to just randomly put them in some order. This is how I want them ordered:

    News
    Reviews
    Interviews
    Hardware
    Software
    Walkthroughs
    Commentary
    Deals
    Cult of Mac

    I originally was using the little “hack” of just putting spaces in front of the names of the cateogires but when I upgraded to the final 1.5 it stopped working that way. Any ideas?

  • Glad to hear it! Let me know how it behaves.

    First thing I did was remove one of the <br>’s as it was super spacing the list items. That’s just a personal thing though. Glad that the option is there.

    I’ll look into that. It shouldn’t be adding extra <br />‘s. Bet it is, though.

    And it was. Fixed now.

    Here’s what I’m trying to do: List my categories, with the ‘children’ or ‘sub categories’ INDENTED. It was like this in 1.2, and I’ve looked through the codex link above, but can’t do it now in 1.5. I’ve got them displaying in the correct order, HOWEVER, the sub-cats aren’t indented or otherwise made appearent that they are SUB categories. I hope that made sense.

    Thanks for your help.

    elmsblog, in your 1.22 wp-layout.css, you likely had several statements that controlled the appearance of lists within the #menu ID. They began with #menu ul li, for instance, and #menu ul li ul li, and so forth. There was also, toward the end of the #menu permutations, something about #menu ul li ul li children. (I’m being vague here because I’m not actually looking at the file.) All of these specified various levels of indenting.

    There aren’t so many of these statements in the default/Kubrick stylesheet, since that theme expects hierarchical category lists to be turned off. So you just need to adapt that section of the old stylesheet to your new one.
