    Trying to find a way to list just the primary categories, excluding subcategories. Client wants them in a sidebar and I am unable to find a plugin to help. So…help?

    You could place this right on the sidebar.php template:
    <?php wp_list_categories(['parent'=> 0,]); ?>

    N.B. If your theme is subject to updates, the modified template should reside in a child theme or else your change will be overwritten during updates.

    Ewww, I hate changing at that level but sure, if that’s the only way to do it. Grrr. Thanks. Maybe I can convince her showing a featured item makes more sense. LOL
