Just a quick note:
ophois already reported the ‘children=0’ bug. See https://www.ads-software.com/support/3/7092
hope that summer cold is not too bad

Ophois, just saw your post, I reported the same problem here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/4/6761
It seems that the category functions have more problems, the (‘categories=1,3,4’) doesn’t work either. I get:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in wp-includes/template-functions-category.php on line 338
Just wanted to confirm the bug so the developers see it’s a real problem ??
Best regards

Thanks for the extensive answer ??
It really seems that it is a bug, because (‘children=0’) should definitely turn off all child categories, and it doesn’t.
For my current blog it’s no big deal, I will hardcode the six top categories and pray that at least the children_of function works properly, so I can display the subcategories dynamically. But for further blogs this won’t work, as I can’t predict the number of top categories.
In my design I want to “split” categories: the top categories are supposed to appear as a horizontal top level navigation and the subcategories are supposed to appear in the left column. And that seems not possible, at least not dynamically, because WP will always display ALL categories.
I’m new to WP, and it seems that the SourceForge bug tracker is not maintained. Any suggestions where to report this problem?
Best regards
Gregor

I have a problem with categories and wonder if any of you has experienced it:
I want to display all top categories (my top level menu) and then, depending on which cateory the user is in, I want to diplay this category’s subcategories in another menu.
I cannot, however, turn off subcategories, even though I use (‘children=0’). The only difference it makes is that with ‘0’ the subcategories appear like top categories and with ‘1’ they appear as proper childs.
Is this a bug or intended?

Hi anatam,
I tried to hide some categories as well (children=false), but they are still displayed, in another way, though…
Can anybody confirm/explain this?
Thanks
Gregor
