So we have created a category with subcategories and all of those subcategory topics are displaying in the main category as well as their subcategory. How do we avoid that? Am I missing a setting?

Why _wouldn’t_ you want that? It’s by design.

I agree - it’s by design. We have some groups in the company that are setting up private categories for internal functions and they had asked to separate sub-category content from the main category - hence my question about it.

There’s already the option for suppressing content from the Latest list for a category/sub-category and they were wondering if that could be extended.

У нас это уже есть в UX.

Компонент темы мог бы сделать это более стандартным решением. Плагин же наверняка мог бы сделать такое поведение стандартным.
