In your case, the plugin works fine. The conversation was about moving the plugin to the theme page. For example, here: https://forum.90sec.com/t/topic/356 This presents some difficulty.

this plugin show only 8 categories in sidebar? in my forum show only 8âŚ
The number of categories is taken from the value: header dropdown category count
Try to change it in the site settings.

Does this sidebar also appear when looking at posts? @Stranik
No. If you go to the topic, the sidebar is hidden. This was due to the fact that I did not want to complicate the css, because the theme itself has a lot of small elements. And any shift will lead to a whole chain of changes. But you can easily do it. Just clone this plugin and change it to what you need.
And more. While in a topic, you may need to highlight the category in which we are in the topic itself, in order to somehow link the categories and topics. Otherwise, the sidebar will be independent, separate, just a navigation element without binding to something.

Is it possible to display the categories the same order as when using âfixed category positionsâ?
1 Like
Setting: âfixed category positionsâ does not work in this implementation. The order of categories completely repeats the order of categories in the drop-down menu (in the header of the site).

I have a couple questionsâŚ
- Would it be possible to add some highlight/indicator to show which category a person is in, by highlighting (or some other visible distinction) the category one is currently viewing?
- Would it be possible to show sub-categories? Perhaps when a user is viewing a Category that has sub-categories, it would be great to see that Category open and showing the sub-categories beneath it.
âł another point to this that would be nice is that if a Category has sub-categories, if there was a way to instantly see this⌠maybe kinda like the Discourse âHide Detailsâ feature worksâŚ
ExampleâŚ
đš Category 1
Sub-Category 1
Sub-Category 2
đš Category 2
Category 3
đš Category 4
Sub-Category 1
Sub-Category 2

This is not yet in the plans. The fact is that I used (cloned) the code that is used in the drop-down menu in the header of the site. It is relatively simple.
Your proposal will require some modification.
You can try to make the necessary changes yourself.

@Stranik how much would a custom gig like I suggested here cost? Do you do custom work or would I just post to the marketplace to see what bites I could get? ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
