Sub Categories
I'm posting here as it seems to relate most closely to the issues I'm having.
It is to do with parent category, child sub-category and grandchild sub-category order in various places within Classipress.
My installation uses WordPress 3.0.1 Classipress 3.0.4.
I have tried the
WP plugins My Category Order 2.8.7 and Category Order 1.0.3 and neither seem to work correctly.
My Category Order doesn't seem to be able to order the parent categories correctly at all so I gave up on that one.
Category Order seems to work correctly for parent categories and child sub-categories on the home page and the categories drop down. However, as soon as grandchild sub-categories are added the hierarchy is lost.
Clicking down to a category or sub-category the sub-category listing in the right column doesn't necessarily have the child/grandchild links in the right order but the hierarchy is correct.
It looks like Classipress needs to have a proper method for specifying the category hierarchy and sequence.
My current workaround is to use the Category Order plugin to manage the order of the parent and child categories and use CSS in the custom.css stylesheet to hide the grandchild categories from the home page and categories dropdown. I have left the right sidebar category list asis since the hierarchy is OK although the order is not.
The CSS I've used to hide the grandchild sub-categories is this:
Code:
#adv_categories .cat-item-7
,#directory .cat-item-7
{display:none;}
#adv_categories relates to the dropdown, #directory to the home page ad categories list and cat-item-n refers to a specific category / sub-category.
