Category and Subcategory List Widget


The concept does exactly what I wanted. Parent and child categories are both clickable, and only the parents are initially visible (that's good in the sidebar), and on click the WordPress search results page for the chosen category is displayed. I'm creating a new website for a tour operator, and they have a few tours to the Baltic area, a few to Afrika, a few to Asia... and 20 to Europe. The problem is when the mouse goes over Europe, the flyout child menu is positioned either above or below the parent item, depending on which direction has most space. But always pinned to the parent item. With 20 items in the child menu, it's always truncated (off screen) either at the top or the bottom. It would have space if you instead oriented the middle of it to the parent item - or better, make it equidistant to the top and bottom of the viewport. As is, I can't use it. And all this icon stuff, I don't need it so it's just adding bloat to the CSS sent to the browser. Could you not send it to the browser if icons are not selected?



Anyways, after a good laugh at the German translation of "empty cats" as "leere Katzen" (Katzen are those four-legged meow house pets), I updated the German translation. Look for Tim Reeves, Waldheim, Germany if you want it :)



And thanks for a well-conceived plugin!


Good concept, problem when a lot of child categories

This widget allows to add/update icons for category or icon for custom taxonomy. It lists Categories in horizontal menu pattern.
