Can Anspress Handle Nested Categories on the Main Page?

Hi There,

I know anspress has category support, it’s awesome and I use it! But I was wondering if we could display nested categories on the main anspress page, instead of all of the latest questions.

I.e. If you had a sports site, your main answers page could read:

Football

Hockey

Basbeball

Etc, etc, with questions listed for each category within.

 

Can we do this!?

 

Thanks.

Ajax to reveal sub categories on the main category page would be cool.

Yes it can be done. If you use 2.4 then you can simply add this shortcode to your static homepage:

[anspress page="categories"]

Then you can copy categories.php to your theme folder anspress/categories.php then edit it to show sub category as well.

I think I follow you. If I do this, what happens when I make updates. Would I have to rectify this change every time? Would be a bit of a bummer if so.

If so, two possible feature requests! The ability to use cover images without having to update, and the ability to do this! That would be awesome 😉
