You can see the correct and incorrect hierarchies of the categories in the screenshot, boxed in red green and red, respectively.
I have tried unsetting all hierarchy for those three “draft” related categories and updating the permalink structure before setting them back one by one. I’ve tried setting the “draft” related categories correctly just two levels deep, and then setting the combined nest of “draft” related categories under the proper top-level category. Nothing fixes this. If I unset the parent for the “scouting reports” category, then the “draft archives” category replaces it in the pictured incorrect positions.
This is preventing me from setting category view settings entirely on the three 2nd level categories boxed in red. The theme obviously supports nested categories up to at least 3 levels deep. I don’t get it. When I go to view the front-end of the “Game Week” category, no child categories are seen. When I view the front-end of the “CowboysNation” category, only the correct 2nd level children are listed.
How do I fix this?
WordPress 3.9.2, Newspaper 4.2
It should also be noted that everything else, regarding categories and the theme panel, is working great. I am not having any of the problems recently reported in the forum by other users.
Hi Lucian,
Is there any workaround for setting the sub-category tag color and show featured slider values (editing settings file ???)? I also have nested category and the same problem as Kronos.
Regards
According to the change log for version 4.2.1 it was fixed – “fix categories display in Theme panel -> Categories”
I have version 4.2.2 and still it’s not working right. http://prntscr.com/4kuz9i
No work around that I know of. Didn’t check on v4.2.1 if it was fixed before I upgraded to 4.2.2, but doubt it disappeared for a single version and then came back.
Thanks Kronos for your reply.
I have just updated the Theme to version 4.2.2 and the Panel – Categories is clean now for me.
I have used the envato toolkit for updating the Theme.
Hi,
@eric-tn Glad it works for you.
@Kronos17
We did fix this in previous theme update, apparently the fix hasn’t worked well, I have also just tested this and didn’t worked well for me also, the idea is that the tree structure of the categories/subcategories from theme panel it’s very hard to follow and therefor hard top be developed right, I have added this on our todo list and we will try to fix this in the next update.
Sorry about this.
Thanks for the message!
