We are setting up a new site that will have a lot of 2nd tier categories. I would like to just have the first tier, or ‘liked’ categories show in the drop down hamburger menu. Is this possible? With 200+ categories in total, sometimes this menu does not come down at all. Thanks Tim

[image] codinghorror: subcategory display Thanks. Having trouble finding it. Can you point me in the right direction?

I believe i found it. Show subcategory list instead of topic list when entering a category does what i was looking for. Thanks again.

To be fair, this setting might be a little misnamed since it does have some other effects on the system .. I guess we should call it the “I have way too many $%^#* categories” setting :wink:

Edit the category and set it there.

all I find there is suppressing from home page. I want to not show categories in the hamburger menu. I think I misread the issue of Tim’s original post here though.

I believe that’s the same setting. Try it. @neil can confirm

If you are only wanting to limit the categories in the hamburger menu, CSS can do it. /* to hide them all */ .hamburger-panel ul.category-links { display: none; } /* to hide only subcategories */ .hamburger-panel ul.category-links li.subcategory { display: none; } You can also target specific categories (but you need to use Dev Tools, right click inspect element to see the category specific selector to use .hamburger-panel ul.category-links li.category-specific-selector { display: none; }

[image] cpradio: /* to hide only subcategories */ .hamburger-panel ul.category-links li.subcategory { display: none; } thanks! I notice that I might have to actually selectively hide the, as all/nothing seems to be a bit too blunt in my case. i will figure it out. I noticed something strange though: the uncategorized category, which I had disabled the night before, seems to be showing in the hamburger menu. What’s up with that (see other topic)

Can I limit the number of categories in the drop down menu?

Yes, turn off subcategory display in the site settings.
