Hi there,

Not 100% sure what you need but perhaps these plugins might help?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/sub-categories-widget/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-subcategory-list-widget/

Let me know 🙂

thanks but the plugin can’t list the parent category as a link. I have two parent categories for the blog posts but then a few sub categories under each parent. I want to be able to show a full list including parent category and then its sub categories underneath in a list form.

ie

Coffee
– coffee people
– coffee travel
– coffee training
etc

each level is linked

?? thanks

Hmm I’m not aware of anything that will help with this unfortunately.

Maybe manually inserting those links would be the best?

hmmmmm that’s not what I want to do. These are blog categories its too hard to do that. Does anyone know any CSS I can add then?

[Avani]

not sure if this is a wordpress widget or generatepress widget. but the categories widget allows me to tick the ‘show hierarchy’ but its not showing on the frontend? Can you help ? why isn’t it showing the hierarchy, I set up sub categories and parent category and I thought it should show but its not??

That would be a WordPress widget.

Give this CSS a shot:

div:not(.entry-content) .footer-widgets .widget ul li:before {
    content: "- ";
}
