Quick Tips

• Categories can be "nested" into levels, similar to folders on a disk drive. In theory there is no absolute limit on the number of levels you can have. However, as a practical matter it is recommended to keep the levels to a minimum. The Show All Categories layout may not work correctly if the number of levels shown is greater than 5.
• If you set up category titles as linkable, the user can drill down on the category. When they do, they will normally see either a Category List or Category Blog menu item, depending on which option is selected. If there is a pre-existing menu item for this category (for example, a Category Blog menu item), then that menu item will show in the drill down and the options set for that menu item will control the page display. Otherwise, the options set for the current Show All Categories menu item will control the page display.
• You can set the option to drill down to a list or blog in 2 places.
  • In Articles: Options you can set the default value for all categories.
  • In Category: Edit you can set a value for a specific category. If this is set, it overrides the default value.
• Customise 'Date Format': You can use D M Y for day month year or d-m-y for a short version for example 17-08-05 (see PHP: Date - Examples). If left blank, it uses DATE_FORMAT_LC1 from your language file.
