I had the same problem and found a good solution. Scroll down to Reuben’s response on this page:

Try this: List children of current category.

Okay, I figured it out. This will give me a list of the child categories, no matter what the parent is.

<?php
$cat_object = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$parentcat = ($cat_object->category_parent) ? $cat_object->category_parent : $cat;
wp_list_categories("child_of=$parentcat&title_li=");
?>

Many thanks to muskote whose code I adapted and modified to use wp_list_categories. (I’ve also set it to avoid printing the ‘title line’ so that if the category has no subcategory, this code will not return the phrase ‘no categories’. Since I’m using it in the main archive.php template, I needed this.

I’m also having this program but it arose spontaneously, it was workign fine before and I didn’t change anything in the wordpress config or browser. The only thing that changed was that I turned off the rich editor and then turned it back on. There are also two Mac OS users who may have edited some of the same posts. I’m on a windows XP platform with IE7. I opened Firefox and am able to edit and save just fine in it. I’ve had this problem intermittently in the past as well, and it resolved itself. I don’t know how, but I think it may have something to do with the Mac admin user (who swears they changed nothing in the config) being on there as that seems to be the only commonality.

I figured it out…

I added the line of code:
img#wpstats{width:0px;height:0px;padding:0px;border:none;}

To the end of my stylesheet and it cancelled out the smiley.

I looked at the readme for the stats plugin and it says under hiding the smiley:

“Can I hide the smiley? =

Sure, just don’t use display:none, try this code:

img#wpstats{width:0px;height:0px;padding:0px;border:none;overflow:hidden} “

The thing is, the installation instructions don’t include any references to clarify where ‘display: none’ is located. Is this in the header template? The CSS for the header and footer? Where does one insert/replace this code????

I’ve installed the plugin and have a feed showing up. However the calendar items are not linked to the source (ie: the titles of the events are not links to the details) is there any way to make that happen?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s been driving me nuts that wordpress been stripping the
list and line break tags from my category descriptions.

I have the same problem and I think I have one piece of the puzzle. I see a reference to this in the FAQ for the WordPress stats plugin but I’m not quite sure how to implement it:

[QUOTE] What if the stats don’t start showing up? Do I need anything special in my theme?
Yes, your theme must have a call to <?php wp_footer(); ?> at the very bottom right before the </body> tag.[END OF QUOTE]

I edited the footer of my theme (where the </body>
tag is and pasted <?php wp_footer(); ?> in right in front of the body tag. Not sure if that counts as a ‘call’ or do I have to add something else?

I figured it out – it was WP-Sticky making all the problem! when I deactivated it, my alphabetization worked again. jeepers!

I found the fold categories plugin and widget which give me what I need in the sidebar but not at page top. I’ll have to hard code some standard links there I guess.

Actually, tsguitar, Owen is looking for something to hide child categories relating to posts, not sub-pages. I have been searching on this site, but haven’t found anything able to dynamically (without excluding or including categories one by one) that can show a list of only the post parent categories.

This is great, Jonski. I’m not able to get it to work, I think because I’ve got something wrong in the syntax or usage. I can figure things out in php, but am by no means a guru.

I’m trying to put a dynamic list of parent categories only in the header. It’s a multi-user environment and I don’t want to have to rewrite the header everytime someone adds a category, but I also want to hide the children in the header or there will be too many items.

How do I use this code fragment to put a list of links to the parent categories in the header?
