Thanks, that’s good to know.

In our case, we have some top-level categories used particularly for grouping of categories and not so much to be a category for posting.

So, instead of `support` and `wordpress` looking like separate entries. We want to communicate sort of that there’s _one_ category of `support: wordpress` which clearly shows the nesting.

Q: what category is this?  
A: the `support: wordpress` category (maybe spelled out: the wordpress category within support)

What we don’t like is the sense of “this is in the support category and the wordpress category”

So, maybe something like this:

![nested-categ](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/0/b08396a629614a20d56f5fb66e0c39cf24160be4.png)

or even just the option to completely hide the parent category when looking at a post?

Or maybe `support: wordpress` with the dual-colored box on the right of the text…?

The priority is to not give the parent so much separate emphasis on its own, avoid the impression of 2 categories.

Getting a sense of the range of possibilities will let us just play with things. Thanks for the help!
