That’s very strange, but after 2.1.4 update on my development site it seems that category widget got back to normal as it was in 2.1.2. I have re-enabled “Only show children for the current category” and removed rules proposed by he11f1ire from CSS. And now it works as described in the first post of this topic again.

Its weird that the widget still works differently for different people here.

Thanks, I’ve just adapted your CSS to my theme’s style, now the categories widget look almost like before the update, in 2.1.2.

However this is not a solution, it’s rather just a workaround.

mikejolley:

I suspect you may have your widget styled wrongly making it appear wrong.

I’m very curious how could I style that widget so “wrongly” that it doesn’t show parents of the current category anymore even in HTML without any CSS.

Your screenshot is similar to what I see in 2.1.2. I’d like to make it look the same way in 2.1.3, but I can’t.

I’m glad to see that there’re other people with the same problem.
Hope it will be fixed sooner.

Okay, I’ll ask it in a different way then.

Below are two screenshots of the product category widget from my development site. Both were taken on the same page (so the current category is the same).

Please compare:
1. Picture taken from 2.1.2: w212.png
2. Picture taken from 2.1.3: w213.png

How can I make the widget in 2.1.3 behave the same way it was in 2.1.2?

Yes, it probably does just what the option says.

What I’m talking about is that there should be a way to show at the same time:
1. children of the current category;
2. siblings of the current category;
3. hierarchy of the ancestors of the current category (i mean parent of the current cat, the parent of its parent and so on until the root category);
In 2.1.2 everything worked exactly this way.

Currently as of 2.1.3 we can list all the categories regardless of the current one or we can list only current category and its siblings/children. There’s no way we could list parents of the current cat and include root categories like it was in 2.1.2.

And I certainly didn’t mention “children of siblings”.
Please look at the examples once again.
