How Do I Get My Subcategories To Show Under The Parent Category In Wordpress

5 replies
I've got a wordpress blog and when I try & create a subcategorie and put
it under it's parent it's not doing it it's showing up like a parent
category in my categories.

I've watched videos ,installed different themes & still nothing works
what am I doing wrong.

My permalink is /%postname%/ could that be it here's some of the steps
I've so far taken.

1. Installed the categories widget.
2. Created my parent categories.
3. Created my subcategories & put theme under it's parent
4. Added post to both the parent categories & subcategories.
Here's my wordpress blog Penny Auction Reviews

    That is the oddest thing! I just went to my own blog and tested it. I can't get it to work, either.

    What Theme are you using? Maybe it's something to do with a Theme attribute?

    I'm stumped ...

        By the way can you post the steps you take to build the categories & subcategories the right way.

        Like should we first install the widget & check the heirarchy box
        & then should we build all the categories and the subcategories
        & then add the post.

          I did click "show hierarchy" and it still didn't work for me. Maybe it was the order in which I clicked?
