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 five.
- If you set up category titles as linkable, the user can navigate to the category. If there is a pre-existing menu item for this category (for example, a Category List menu item), then that menu item will show in the linked page and the options set for that menu item will control the page display. Otherwise, the options set for the current List News Feeds in a Category menu item will control the page display.
